Eni inaugurates LNG production in the Republic of the Congo with the departure of the first cargo. On 27th February 2024, the President of the Republic of the Congo, Denis Sassou-N'Guesso, the Chairman of Eni’s Board of Directors Giuseppe Zafarana and Eni’s CEO Claudio Descalzi, celebrated the start of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production in the African country, which becomes part of the group of LNG exporting countries, opening up new opportunities for economic growth. The first cargo will sail to Piombino’s regasification terminal in the coming days.
This departure is a testament to the success of the Congo LNG project, which reached production in record time. Eni confirms its strong commitment, together with the continued support of the Congolese government, the collaboration with local partners, sharing with them skills and technologies, thus, ensuring additional revenue for the country while contributing to Europe’s energy security.
