The joint implementation committee to expedite the procurement process for the lead consultant and the feasibility study.
The project will increase the demand for natural gas and boost gas extraction in Tanzania's Lindi and Mtwara regions. Kenya and Botswana have expressed interest in Tanzania's natural gas. Biteko urged investors to come and invest in the natural gas sector, noting that gas processing has reached 250 million cubic feet per day, with 80% used for electricity generation and 20% for industrial, household, and transportation use. The agreement is based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the two countries in August 2018, and that the two countries will work together on a feasibility study to assess the project's design, gas demand, pipeline size, and other important factors.
