The Dangote Group, Ethiopia, and Djibouti are set to develop a refined petroleum products pipeline linking the two East African countries. The project, which has a price tag of $660 million, will include a 120-kilometer pipeline and storage facilities with a combined capacity of about 1.175 million cubic meters. The system is expected to begin operating within 18 months; it will connect Damerjog in Djibouti, with about 375,000 cubic meters of storage, to Dewele in Ethiopia, with about 800,000 cubic meters. According to Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, the project will be developed through a partnership between Ethiopian Investment Holdings and Dangote Group. The infrastructure is intended to reduce logistics costs and delays along the transport corridor while improving energy security and supply-chain resilience.
