Africa’s Gas Decade Starts Now 🌍🔥

Africa holds an estimated 620 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas reserves around 7.5% of global reserves. Yet, much of this resource remains untapped.

The opportunity is clear: move from discovery to delivery and unlock gas as a catalyst for energy security, industrialisation, investment and regional growth.

On 4 March 2027 at the CTICC, Cape Town, the Africa Gas Forum, an official thematic event of the Africa Energy Indaba, will bring together governments, NOCs, gas companies, investors, infrastructure developers and major energy users to shape the continent’s gas future.

Theme: Africa’s Gas Decade: From Discovery to Delivery – Powering Energy Security, Industrialisation and Regional Growth.

The question is no longer whether Africa has the resources, it’s how we turn those resources into sustainable economic opportunity.
