REGIONAL PANEL DISCUSSION To What Extent Can Gas Anchor New Energy Corridors in West Africa?

From Mauritania to Nigeria, West Africa is endowed with vast yet undeveloped gas resources that could support its industrialisation and the expansion of its power infrastructure. As large cross-border gas ventures take shape, we gather the public and private sector around a unique regional conversation unpacking the potential of virtual and physical gas pipelines, small- and large-scale LNG projects, and cross-border gas trade amongst Africa’s fastest-growing economies.  We highlight the overarching issue of securing capital at scale and provisions made to financing gas infrastructure.  

Key areas of discussion:  

  • How can West African countries collaborate to develop and expand regional natural gas infrastructure, such as virtual/physical pipelines and LNG terminals, to enhance trade and supply reliability? 

  • What are the critical steps needed to harmonize policy and regulatory frameworks across West African countries to facilitate smooth natural gas trade and investment? 

  • What measures should be implemented to mitigate the environmental and social impacts associated with natural gas extraction and transportation in West Africa, and how can regional cooperation enhance sustainability? 

  • How can natural gas complement the development of renewable energy sources in West Africa, and what strategies can promote a balanced energy mix while addressing energy security concerns?
