The Dangote Fertilizer plants capacity utilization rate is still low at 50% due to gas supply issues, some 3 years after commissioning.
Dangote Fertilizer (DFL) has a total production capacity of 2.8 million tons per annum (MTPA) of Urea and Ammonia.
Chevron and NNPC have committed to supplying gas for 20 years at a rate of 200 million standard cubic feet per day (mscf/day).
Although the project began its first phase of production in 2021, the average utilization rate improved but remains low at just 50% in 2023 (up from 32% in 2022).
The utilisation rate was hindered by inadequate gas supply which affects operational efficiency.
Dangote Fertiliser Limited is the largest Granulated Urea Fertiliser complex in Africa, with an investment of $2.5 Billion, the plant has a capacity of 3 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA).
