Yakaar-Teranga LNG Hub is a proposed LNG export hub in Senegal.

Location

The LNG hub is expected to capitalize on gas resources offshore Senegal in the Yakaar-Teranga offshore gas field. This is reportedly within the Cayar Offshore Profond block. The location below is a loose approximate based on the nearest large port city, Dakar.
