Niger Signs Agreement to Establish 100,000-barrel-per-day Refinery
On 15 August 2026, Abdourahmane Tchiani’s revolutionary government signed a milestone agreement with Zimar Group to construct a 100,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Dosso.
This is part of the Nigerien government’s efforts to nationalize its resources, breaking the old cycle of exporting raw crude and importing refined products.
The project could allow Niger to capture more value from its hydrocarbon resources, as it is already doing with its other natural resources. It also promises to strengthen its energy security, and create a foundation for greater industrialization within the country and across the Sahelian alliance.
