PANEL DISCUSSION : Monetising Africa’s Gas in the Next 7 – 10 years

As valuable as gas is for Africa, its potential as a transition fuel is yet to be truly actualised. According to the IEA, tapping into Africa’s undeveloped gas reserves could add an additional 90 bcm per year by 2030, around two-thirds for domestic needs, and the rest for export. Given that potential, how can African nations build roadmaps for domestic gas monetization whilst balancing export demands?

Domestic, regional, and international supply - which scenario is best for Africaand what is required to build roadmaps for a balanced gas monetisation strategy?
What are the challenges of developing gas-to-power and what is required to fast track it’s potential in the short to medium term?
How can Africa monetize its gas locally to eradicate energy poverty, industrialise, and advance towards middle income economies?
Balancing gas monetizing with LNG. What policy is required to make domestic monetization a reality?
How can Africa fast track investment into domestic and regional gas development to provide energy security across the continent?
