LNG for Agriculture — Fueling Farm Equipment and Rural Communities
By DNG Energy Media Team
While South Africa has been the launchpad, Aldworth Mbalati’s vision for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) reaches far beyond national borders. As the founder and CEO of DNG Energy, Mbalati is actively building a pan-African LNG network that will fuel the continent’s industries, cities, and transport systems for generations.
From Mozambique’s gas-rich fields to energy-hungry urban centers in Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria, Mbalati sees LNG as the bridge between energy access and economic growth across Africa.
🌍 A Pan-African LNG Corridor
DNG Energy is currently expanding operations and partnerships across key African markets:
- Mozambique: tapping into upstream gas reserves for regional supply
- Namibia: supporting LNG imports for mining and logistics
- Kenya and Tanzania: targeting clean transport and industrial gas users
- Ghana and Nigeria: opening up West African LNG infrastructure conversations
This strategy includes mobile LNG delivery, floating storage solutions, and cross-border logistics systems.
🔗 Regional Partnerships
Mbalati’s leadership has positioned DNG Energy as a preferred LNG partner for:
- Governments seeking to reduce diesel imports
- Industrial users requiring affordable energy alternatives
- Transport operators seeking to decarbonise fleets
Recent MOUs with Transnet, ENH Mozambique, and East African infrastructure firms demonstrate this growing regional footprint.
🚚 Scalable & Flexible Deployment
Unlike traditional pipelines, LNG’s flexibility allows for:
- Off-grid energy for remote regions
- Rapid deployment of modular fueling stations
- Support for mining, logistics, and agro-processing sectors
This modular model is key to meeting the continent’s diverse and dispersed energy needs.
🗣️ “Africa Deserves Energy Sovereignty”
“Africa doesn’t need charity—it needs infrastructure,” Mbalati states. “Our LNG model is scalable, clean, and built for Africa’s pace of growth.”
Through strategic expansion, DNG Energy is laying the foundation for energy independence and economic resilience across the continent.
