LNG is a critical enabler of energy security and economic growth, and we look forward to supporting a cleaner energy future together.”

Speaking at the execution ceremony, Kola Motajo, Director, Sahara Group, said the energy conglomerate will explore similar opportunities in pursuit of its commitment to making a difference in advancing the energy value chain. “It is imperative that all stakeholders explore several collaborative avenues to enhance energy access.

This long-term partnership represents a major milestone in the ongoing global transition to cleaner energy. The agreement secures a reliable LNG supply from Mexico’s West Coast, strategically positioned for efficient delivery to fast-growing markets across the Asia-Pacific and Latin America. LNG deliveries are set to begin in the third quarter of 2028.

“This agreement with Sahara Group reflects our shared commitment to accelerating the global shift toward cleaner, more sustainable energy,” said Muthu Chezhian, CEO of LNG Alliance. “As one of the first large-scale LNG export projects on Mexico’s west coast, Amigo LNG will not only help meet rising energy demand in key global markets but also serve as a catalyst for economic development and regional energy integration.”

Sahara Group’s offtake from Amigo LNG is expected to play a critical role in enhancing energy security for Asia over the next decade. As the region navigates increasing energy demand, supply diversification challenges, and efforts to reduce coal dependency, Amigo LNG provides a stable, geopolitically neutral, and cost-competitive supply route.

Amigo LNG’s 7.8 MTPA export facility comprises of two trains of 3.9 MTPA each and is currently under development in close cooperation with the State of Sonora and Secretaría de Marina, Mexico. Strategically located near the Port of Guaymas, the project plays a central role in Plan Sonora—Mexico’s national initiative to promote near-shoring, maritime decarbonization, and trans-Pacific energy connectivity.
