A Refinery in Nigeria has been Ranked above Europe’s Ten Largest Refineries in Capacity

The $20.5 billion Dangote refinery, owned by Africa’s richest man, has a processing capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. The refinery, which finally began production in January after facing years of delay, outshines Europe’s largest refinery, the Pernis Refinery, with its installed capacity of 404,000 barrels per day (bpd). Additionally, the GOI Energy ISAB Refinery in Italy, constructed with a refining capacity of 360,000 bpd, falls short compared to the Dangote facility. The long-awaited refinery has been hailed as a transformative force for Nigeria and the energy sector across sub-Saharan Africa.
