Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi inaugurated a terminal for filling domestic gas bottles at the Mozambican port of Beira in central Mozambique yesterday.
The project implemented by public company Petromoc includes three tanks, with a total storage capacity of 3,000 metric tons of liquefied petroleum gas and a filling line with capacity of 5,000 bottles per day.
President Nyusi highlighted the fact that the project will help reduce the pressure for biomass consumption of wood and charcoal, “with significant environmental gains” and reduce “damage caused by deforestation”
The unit will supply neighbouring countries and the central and northern regions of Mozambique, which consume 25 percent of the bottled gas sold in the country, a share that is expected to grow, taking population growth projections into account, Petromoc notes.
Beira’s LPG ocean terminal is the second in the country, along with a similar facility in Matola, Maputo province, in the south of the country. Work on the US$38 million (EUR 30.8 million) terminal began in July, 2015, with finance from the Exim Bank of India.
