Niger: fuel demand
Million litres a day, all Oil products.
- Today: ~3.2
- In 10 years: ~4.3
- In 15 years: ~5.0
Indicative market estimates, 2026
- ~2,000 km
- Niger–Benin crude pipeline to the coast
- Under 20%
- Share of Niger's people with electricity
- ~6.1
- Births per woman, with the population heading for over 50 million by 2050
- Net importer
- Of refined fuel, mainly from Nigeria, since fuel exports stopped in 2024
Niger produces more crude than it can refine, and the Soraz refinery meets only part of the country's fuel demand. MEA Energy Niger works in the gap: refined products, jet fuel and storage.

Planned storage, our own trucks and over 50 stations across the country.
Our vision in Niger is to develop storage across the country and to build a network of more than 50 stations that reaches every region. Storage close to demand, our own fleet and our own stations together give Niger a reliable, local source of fuel, and a base for supplying the wider Sahel.
- Planned storage across Niger.
- More than 50 stations across the country.
- Reliable supply by our own fleet from Niamey.
Technology that keeps the pumps running.
We believe in what artificial intelligence can do for energy: forecasting demand, spotting losses, planning routes, keeping equipment safe and serving customers faster. We want to be the most advanced downstream company in the industry, driven by data, and we use technology to make every link in the chain work harder.
- Our planned stations will be data-driven, just as they are in Nigeria.
- Trucks are tracked and deliveries planned with help from the Group's technology teams.
- Data and AI are shared across Nigeria, Niger and Dubai, so supply stays reliable and efficient.
