Global lender, World Bank has approved 2.5 billion funding for the project by Mombasa Gas Terminal, a company specialising in LPG handling. The importation, storage and marketing of liquefied petroleum gas in Kenya will see a major shift with the construction of a greenfield terminal in Mombasa.

The project site is located at Mbaraki Creek within the vicinity of the Port of Mombasa. The new terminal will comprise direct mooring access for large-sized LPG carriers, storage, and associated infrastructure that will have multiple loading points for the transfer of LPG to road and rail transport.

The funding came after the company secured regulatory approvals from the national and county governments. The funds will go towards the building of the first phase of an LPG import and storage terminal that will enable a sustained increase in the uptake of clean energy fuels in Kenya.

The facility will serve both industrial and domestic users through dealer networks and will support the government’s ‘big four’ agenda.
