Zambia’s Planned Refinery to Rely on Oil Delivery by Road

Zambia will supply a refinery it’s planning to build and complete before 2028 with crude delivered initially by road, according to the energy ministry.

Over the longer term, the oil — sourced from the Middle East and Angola — will be supplied by rail, it said in a response to questions. Fujian Xiangxin Corp. started construction of the $1.1-billion refinery with the capacity to produce 60,000 barrels of oil a day, the ministry said in an earlier statement.
