South Africa’s Renergen revealed last week that it had agreed to supply LNG to Consol Glass, a Johannesburg-based supplier of glass packaging materials.

In a statement, Renergen said it had signed a five-year agreement with Consol Glass. Under that document, the former company will begin deliveries to the latter in January 2022, shortly after the commissioning of the first phase of its Victoria gas project.

Renergen has yet to reveal the value of the deal. It has reported that it is slated to supply LNG to Consol Glass at the rate of about 14 tonnes per day, equivalent to 5,110 tonnes per year (tpy).

It has also pointed out that the deal with Consol Glass will be its first supply agreement that does not involve providing LNG for use as a vehicle fuel. Renergen’s first major customer was a subsidiary of TotalEnergies (France), which aims to use LNG from the Victoria project as fuel for long-haul trucks. The French major will use its branded filling stations along the Johannesburg-Durban section of the N3 highway to distribute LNG from the first phase of Renergen’s plant.
