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?
