The Dangote Refinery has successfully exported its jet fuel to various international destinations, including airports in Iceland, Tenerife, and London.

According to a report by SP Global Commodity Insights, the refinery’s Nigerian-made aviation fuel has reached prominent locations such as Heathrow Airport in the UK, as the petrochemical facility continues to scale up production.

The report further highlights that between January and October this year, the majority of the refinery’s supply has been delivered to the Lome transshipment hub off Togo.

South Korea has also emerged as the largest single export destination, receiving 23,000 barrels per day (b/d) of naphtha.

Additionally, significant volumes of gasoil have been exported to Ghana and other West African nations from the $20 billion mega refinery.

Estimates suggest that at least eight African countries are gearing up to import Dangote Refinery products when it achieves full operational capacity next year.

SP Global notes that the refinery’s operations have already positioned Nigeria as a net exporter of jet fuel, naphtha, and fuel oil.

Forecasts by Commodity Insights indicate that Nigeria could export nearly 50,000 b/d more gasoil from Lagos than it imports by next year, with volumes expected to almost triple by 2026.
