- The refinery can supply 75 million litres of PMS, 25 million litres of diesel, and 20 million litres of jet fuel daily.
- Nigeria's estimated daily consumption is 50 million litres of PMS, 14 million litres of diesel, and 4 million litres of jet fuel.
- Excess supply provides critical buffers and reduces reliance on imports during peak demand or disruptions.
- The refinery aligns with regulatory efforts to ensure market stability and supports Nigeria's energy security objectives.
Refinery Capacity
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has confirmed its ability to supply fuel volumes significantly exceeding Nigeria's domestic consumption. It can provide 75 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) daily, compared to the national consumption of 50 million litres. Additionally, it can supply 25 million litres of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) against a demand of 14 million litres, and 20 million litres of aviation fuel, surpassing the domestic need of four million litres.
Supply Stability
The availability of fuel volumes above current demand offers critical supply buffers, enhancing market stability and reducing reliance on imports, especially during peak demand periods or logistical disruptions. This approach strengthens inventory cover and enhances the resilience of the domestic supply chain.
Regulatory Compliance
Dangote Petroleum Refinery emphasizes its commitment to full regulatory compliance and cooperation with the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). The refinery's supply strategy aligns with efforts to ensure market stability and orderly downstream operations.
Energy Security
The refinery remains engaged with regulators and industry stakeholders to support Nigeria's national energy security objectives. As the country transitions from fuel import dependence to domestic refining, the refinery works closely with market participants to ensure reliable supply, competitive pricing, and improved market discipline for consumers nationwide.
Local Refining Benefits
With expanding domestic refining capacity, stakeholders believe Nigeria is better positioned to reduce foreign exchange exposure, improve supply security, and strengthen downstream efficiency through locally refined petroleum products.
