Minister of Mines, and Hydrocarbons Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima of Equatorial Guinea paid a visit to Bechir Ismael Quedraogo, Burkina Faso’s Minister of Energy. Both ministers and their technical teams worked on the implementation of the MoU signed between Equatorial Guinea and Burkina Faso in September 2017.

The MoU falls under Equatorial Guinea’s LNG2Africa initiative, in which Equatorial Guinea is promoting the utilization of LNG within Africa, using gas sourced and processed in Africa.

The parties presented a detailed plan to supply LNG to power plants in Burkina Faso. Once approved, Burkina Faso will immediately benefit from LNG supplies from Equatorial Guinea.
