(Business in Cameroon) - French group Parlym will build and launch a 1,000 m3 capacity domestic gas tank at the filling station of Société camerounaise des dépôts pétroliers (Scdp) in Yaoundé, for a total of 3.3 billion FCFA. According to the release issued by the Minister of Public Contracts, the French group made a bid for the deal in collaboration with the Paresa company.

The project should help to ease challenges frequently encountered in Cameroon with domestic gas supply for households due to the low storage capacity available for this fuel source.

Current storage capacity barely surpasses four days of consumption.
