The ambitious XXXXXX barrels-per-day facility will produce enough refined products to satisfy Zambia's entire current fuel demand, with surplus capacity for future exports to neighboring countries. Officials project the refinery will save the Southern African nation millions of dollars annually in fuel imports once operational. Construction is set to begin in the third quarter of 2025, with the first phase of commercial operations targeted for 2026. The agreement between Zambia's Industrial Development Corporation and the Chinese firm represents one of the largest industrial investments in the country's recent history. The refinery will source crude oil from the Middle East, imported through Tanzania's Dar es Salaam port, establishing a new supply chain that bypasses traditional routes. Beyond fuel production, the comprehensive energy complex will include liquefied petroleum gas bottling facilities, bitumen production units, lubricant blending capabilities, and a substantial 130-megawatt power plant. This development positions Zambia strategically in the regional energy market, potentially transforming the landlocked nation from an energy importer to a key supplier for the Southern African region. The project's scale and integrated approach reflect growing Chinese investment in African energy infrastructure and Zambia's push toward energy security and industrial development.
