Background

Riverside LNG is planning to build a small scale, modular LNG export project consisting of 6 trains with a total capacity of 1.4 mtpa LNG. The project will produce liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as well. The developers note that it could be expanded to 8 trains with a total capacity of 1.8 mtpa. The project will be located at the Intels operated port at Onne, Rivers State, Nigeria. The terminal's gas supply will come from 2 sources, connected to a planned 120 km network of gas pipelines, which will be developed as part of the project.

In November 2023, Nigeria and Germany signed a US$500 million renewable energy pact and gas export deal, under which Germany will support renewables development in Nigeria and Nigeria's Riverside LNG will export 0.85-1.2 mtpa of LNG to Germany beginning in 2026.

In December 2023, Riverside LNG was in talks with South Africa regarding an LNG supply deal starting no earlier than 2027.

As of 2025, there had been no updates in two years. The project is presumed shelved. The project website is no longer live.
