SSA's gas opportunity: are governments doing enough?
Report summary
Gas should be playing a vital role in solving Sub-Saharan Africa’s energy problem. But developing gas for domestic use has proved too hard for many in the region. Where gas is a priority, governments need to ensure fiscal frameworks are fit for purpose. And with 255 tcf gas undeveloped, the resource upside is huge. Our analysis of gas pricing, fiscal terms and state participation indicates few countries offer both attractive frameworks and top-tier resource opportunities. Reforms in Nigeria could lead the way, but others may need to take a more pragmatic approach if gas if it is to play a key role in the future.
