The next stage of project definition and engineering.
From resources to design
The Project / AHFL
AHFL is developing Project Green as an integrated green methanol production and export platform, bringing together renewable power, green hydrogen production, methanol synthesis and export infrastructure within a phased development strategy.
The project is designed to support the transition to lower-carbon fuels, create long-term industrial value in Nigeria and connect locally produced green methanol with international markets.
Project status
Land, water and the transmission line are secured. The next step for Project Green is to begin Pre-FEED.

From the first studies to a platform designed to grow, explore the proposed development journey for Project Green.
Indicative development schedule. Dates describe the proposed roadmap and do not confirm completion. Timing and capacities remain subject to studies, approvals, financing and final investment decisions.
2024 – 2025
Studies, partnerships & FEED
Establish the technical and commercial foundation: project studies and partner engagement. This work defines the proposed system and the assumptions that later decisions depend on.
PROPOSED OUTCOMEA defined development basis
2026 – 2027
Final investment decision
Bring engineering, financing and commercial arrangements together for a final investment decision (FID). Progression depends on the required approvals and the project meeting the conditions for investment.
PROPOSED OUTCOMEAn investment decision, informed by due diligence
2027 – 2030
Phase 1 construction · Akwa Ibom
The projected first construction phase brings the integrated energy and methanol facilities into physical form in Akwa Ibom, alongside the infrastructure required to connect the production pathway.
PROPOSED OUTCOMEPhase 1 facilities prepared for commissioning
2030
Phase 1 commercial operations
The roadmap targets the start of commercial operations for Phase 1, following commissioning and the necessary operational readiness checks. This is the transition from developing the project to producing and supplying product.
PROPOSED OUTCOMEA proposed first stage of commercial production
2030 – 2032
Phase 2 expansion · Benue
The proposed second phase extends the platform to Benue. Its scope and timing depend on further engineering, infrastructure planning, approvals and financing, informed by the development of Phase 1.
PROPOSED OUTCOMEA second location within a connected platform
2032+
Long-term scale
The longer-term roadmap envisages growth towards 1.2 million metric tonnes per year of methanol capacity. This is a projected ambition for the platform, subject to the development and funding of future phases.
