The system is more than a century old, but now it might soon see its first expansion in years as the city strives to meet its carbon-reduction goals.

Located in Central Africa, in a region known as west equatorial Africa, the Congo encompasses the countries Angola, Gabon, Burundi, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Zambia, and is home to some of the largest tropical rainforests in the world, second only to the Amazon rainforest in South America in size.
