BACKGROUND

As a result of a most eventful year for the LNG sector, the World LNG Report 2022 – the 13th edition of this report – has become one of the most anticipated,.

“The 2022 report is out at a time when LNG is more vital than ever to secure and reliable functioning of energy systems around the world. It is also a vital tool for controlling emissions, particularly as the crisis in energy supply is forcing even the most climate-conscious economies to turn back to coal, wiping out emissions reductions achieved in recent years” – International Gas Union (IGU)

“Africa – with LNG export projects in Egypt, Algeria, Mauritania, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Mozambique and Tanzania – recently started importing LNG to Ghana, with the South African DMRE also having authorised LNG-to-power to alleviate the power generation shortages in South Africa. More recently key international organisations such as the IEA have accepted that Africa should be allowed, even encouraged, to develop its gas resources to underpin industrialisation and economic growth. Gas is already the largest primary energy driving power generation in Africa. But Africa and South Africa play into a very competitive global LNG market, disrupted by the Russian war in Ukraine, and a resulting global search for more LNG supply.” – FutureEnergy.Global
