On January 22, 2025, in Douala, the Cameroonian Petroleum Depot Company (SCDP) unveiled the major strategic orientations that will guide its action for the current year. Securing sites, increasing storage capacities and diversifying activities are among the priorities, with the ambition of strengthening Cameroon’s energy security.
The year 2025 promises to be decisive for SCDP. During the ceremony to launch its budget in Douala, Véronique Manzoua, the company’s Managing Director, unveiled an ambitious roadmap. On the agenda: strengthening site security, increasing storage capacity and intensifying control mechanisms. Continuous improvement of governance and diversification of activities, with the acquisition of additional logistics resources, are also among the priorities. The objective is clear: to build an agile and efficient company, capable of meeting the country’s energy challenges.
Promising growth targets
The ambitions for 2025 are bold. The SCDP is targeting a 3% growth in white petroleum product removals and an 11% increase in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consumption. These efforts are part of a structural investment program planned for the period 2025-2027, intended to modernize infrastructure and improve operational efficiency.
Review of achievements in 2024
In 2024, SCDP demonstrated its strategic role in the supply of petroleum products for Cameroon and hinterland countries. Among the notable advances, the commissioning of sphere 06 in Bonabéri allowed a 40% increase in the availability of domestic gas. The installation of new meters has increased transparency in the management of operations, while the consolidation of partnerships with transporters and marketers has optimized the supply chain.
A strong societal commitment
Alongside its industrial missions, SCDP has continued its community engagement. In 2024, it carried out solidarity actions during Ramadan and supported initiatives in favor of women and environmental protection. These efforts demonstrate the company’s desire to combine economic performance and social responsibility.
With clear objectives and ambitious investments, SCDP intends to play a key role in securing energy in Cameroon. The year 2025 promises to be a turning point, driven by the collective commitment of the teams and a strategy resolutely turned towards the future.
