Dangote Industries has signed a major agreement with Honeywell to expand its refining capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2028, solidifying its position as Africa’s largest refinery and a global petroleum processing hub.
The partnership will see Honeywell supply advanced catalysts, equipment, and technical support, enabling the refinery to process a broader range of crude grades.
The Dangote refinery, with an existing capacity of 650,000 bpd, is one of the world’s largest single-train refining facilities.
The expansion plan involves adding another 750,000-bpd single-train line within the next three years, allowing the refinery to process nearly all of Nigeria’s current crude oil production.
This collaboration comes as Honeywell undergoes a major corporate restructuring, spinning off its aerospace division.
The deal is expected to boost revenues and reinforce Honeywell’s position as a key player in global energy technology solutions.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has already signed a new crude deal with the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, extending supplies for two years.
The agreement aims to alleviate pressure on the currency and stabilize domestic pump prices.
