A Chinese and a Hong Kong company are constructing the $4 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipeline from Ethiopia's contested Ogaden region to the port of Djibouti. The 700-kilometer pipeline will have a capacity of 12 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year. The primary buyer of the LNG is expected to be China.
