Aliko Dangote is set to break ground on a new $16 billion mega-refinery in Kenya, with a capacity of 700,000 barrels per day. The project, located on the Indian Ocean coast at Lamu, aims to advance Africa's self-sufficiency in fuel. It has faced a lawsuit from a local community over land rights, but a court ruling allowed the ground-breaking to proceed while the case continues. Environmentalists, including Greenpeace, have also raised objections over its impact.
