- They listened, worked, and let us make the case for Africa's low-carbon LNG and these discussions have been critical in getting us to see eye-to-eye on gas, a lot of work still needs to be done to make this a reality” stated NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber, who added, “The demonization of Africa's gas industry needs to stop, and investments need to come into the sector.
- The point that natural gas serves as a transitional energy source is one that has been promoted by African nations for a long time and therefore, the African Energy Chamber hails the EU's proposal as a landmark development that justifies a positive outlook for an inclusive energy transition.
- The two continents can set aside their differences and strive towards sustainable development together, paving the way for a new approach to Africa's energy industry, one that serves the whole world and all its people as opposed to a privileged few.
