Angolan cement plants to buy fuel from Luanda Refinery

Angola: Manuel Tavares de Almeida, the Minister of Construction and Public Works, says that cement plants will be able to buy heavy fuel oil (HFO) from the Luanda Refinery. The announcement follows fuel shortages in the country that have led to the Fabrica de Cimento do Kwanza Sul and Luanda Cemento plants being shut, according to the Angola Press Agency. The minister said he had received assurances from the refinery that HFO would be supplied to the cement industry.
