South Africa received its first shipment of liquified natural gas this week, making what is being promoted as a turning point in the efforts to bring the LNG industry to Africa. While the first shipment was just one tank delivered on a containership, DNG Energy Group believes it will be the beginning of the company’s operations, which it expects to have fully operational in the first quarter of 2022.

DNG Energy received the consignment of LNG from Rotterdam arriving at the Port of Ngqura on the southern Africa coast on November 16.
