State oil company Petro SA says the CSIR has been contracted to conduct an environmental impact assessment on the proposed liquefied gas facility in Mossel Bay.

PetroSA says the E-I-A will identify and evaluate environmental characteristics of the project as well its possible impact.

Chief executive, Nosizwe Nokwe-Makamo says the establishment of a liquefied natural gas facility in Mossel Bay is important in maintaining the sustainability of the company's gas-to-liquids refinery.

She says employment levels at the refinery and PetroSA's contribution to the economy of the Southern Cape and the country will be maintained.
