To meet its needs in 2021, Cameroon is preparing to import 120,000 metric tons of domestic gas
(Business in Cameroon) - The Chairman of the ad hoc Commission in charge of imports of petroleum products (CIPP) of Cameroon Okie Johnson Ndoh, has just published a press release informing the oil companies approved in the field of the launch on November 23, of a tender for the import of 120,000 metric tonnes (MT) of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), commonly known as domestic gas.
This quantity of LPG being imported is up 5,000 MT compared to the quantity authorized in 2019. That year, Cameroon launched a similar market to buy 115,000 MT. According to the president of the CIPP, the 120,000 MT in the process of being ordered abroad aim to cover the country's consumption needs during fiscal year 2021. The import will be in three batches: 60,000 MT, 35,000 MT and 25,000 MT. Sessions counting and adjudication thereto will be held on Tuesday 1 st December 2020 at the Caisse de stabilization in oil prices (HSPC), in Yaounde.
These imports will fill the gap in the national domestic gas market, because Cameroon itself is a producer. Indeed, thanks to the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG), the National Hydrocarbons Company (SNH) was able to deliver 20,545.05 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas for the supply of the national market in 2019, i.e. the equivalent of 1,643,604 12.5 kg bottles. This represents a growth of 943,604 bottles since in 2018, SNH delivered nearly 700,000 12.5 kg gas bottles, the most used by households.
