Description: There are significant natural gas resources across the African continent. Natural gas can be an essential source of liquid fuels like propane, and is an important building block for industrial products – fertilizers, plastics and pharmaceuticals. It is a heat source for the manufacturing of glass, cement, ceramics and more. This flexibility coupled with abundant natural gas resources in sub-Saharan Africa, Africa’s energy demand growth, and its commitments to universal electricity access and cleaner energy, are intensifying the focus on the development of African gas.
