内罗毕——环保游说组织绿色和平非洲分部（Greenpeace Africa）反对尼日利亚工业巨头Aliko Dangote在拉姆郡（Lamu County）建立一座日产7万桶（注：原文700,000应为70万桶）拟议炼油厂的计划，并警告称这个耗资数十亿先令的项目可能会对东非最敏感的沿海生态系统之一造成不可逆转的破坏。\n\n在此几天前，肯尼亚总统威廉·鲁托（William Ruto）刚刚宣布，该计划中的炼油厂将创造约6万个就业岗位，并称他已与Dangote达成共识，将推进这座预计将成为东非最大炼油厂的项目。\n\n根据Dangote Industries公司的消息，该项目已经在推进中，拉姆郡的厂址已经确定，土壤测试正在进行中，工程和设计工作也已展开。\n\n一旦项目开始实施，预计建设工期约为三年。\n\n绿色和平非洲分部石油和天然气战役负责人Sherelee Odayar在周二发表的一份声明中表示，在全球向清洁能源转型加速之际，该炼油厂将使肯尼亚在未来几十年里继续陷入对化石燃料的依赖。\n\nOdayar表示：“该项目威胁要破坏东非最脆弱的沿海生态系统之一，同时将肯尼亚锁在一个充满风险的化石燃料未来中。”\n\n她警告称，拉姆郡的红树林、珊瑚礁和海草床支撑着渔业、海岸保护和当地居民的生计，并指出如此规模的炼油厂将增加生境破坏、海洋污染、漏油和空气污染的风险。

Nairobi — Environmental lobby group Greenpeace Africa has opposed plans to establish a proposed 700,000-barrel-per-day oil refinery in Lamu County by Nigerian industrialist Aliko Dangote, warning that the multibillion-shilling project could inflict irreversible damage on one of East Africa's most sensitive coastal ecosystems.

The opposition comes just days after President William Ruto announced that the planned refinery would create about 60,000 jobs, saying he had reached an understanding with Dangote to proceed with what is expected to become East Africa's largest refinery.

According to Dangote Industries, the project is already advancing, with the site identified in Lamu, soil testing underway and engineering and design works having commenced.

Construction is expected to take about three years once implementation begins.

In a statement issued Tuesday, Greenpeace Africa Oil and Gas Campaigner Sherelee Odayar said the refinery would lock Kenya into decades of fossil fuel dependence at a time when the global transition toward cleaner energy is accelerating.

"This project threatens to damage one of East Africa's most fragile coastal ecosystems while locking Kenya into a risky fossil fuel future," Odayar said.

She warned that Lamu's mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass beds support fisheries, coastal protection and local livelihoods, arguing that a refinery of such magnitude would increase the risk of habitat destruction, marine pollution, oil spills and air pollution.
