The Africa Gas Innovation Summit 2024 held in Abuja has emphasised the urgent need for innovation in the energy landscape. According to the group, with new players like Ghana, Tanzania, Senegal, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, and Uganda joining traditional leaders such as Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria, Gabon, and Angola, Africa’s massive gas resources presented a path to a sustainable future.
Chairman, Society of Petroleum Engineers , Nigeria Council, Salahuddeen Tahir said: “Our easiest path to a sustainable future lies in our gas resources and the shortest path to developing these gas resources is through collaboration and innovation”, adding that despite the potential, several challenges persist.
It is hoped that this inaugural edition of AGIS will herald a new era of innovation and collaboration aimed at leveraging Africa’s abundant gas resources for sustainable development.
