Asharami Synergy, the downstream arm of Nigeria’s Sahara Group, is set to begin construction in October 2026 on a 30,000-metric-tonne liquefied petroleum gas terminal at the Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited (KPRL) site in Changamwe, Mombasa.

The project has secured regulatory clearance from Kenya’s Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority and is estimated to cost $136 million, with Asharami holding a 31-year lease on 23.19 acres of land. Construction is expected to take 24 months under a public-private partnership in which Asharami finances and builds the facility while KPRL provides the land.

Designed as a common-user facility, the terminal is expected to sharpen competition in Kenya’s bulk LPG import market by giving multiple marketers access to shared storage infrastructure, supporting government plans to strengthen LPG imports, improve supply security and cut costs through economies of scale.
