Africa could supply up to 20% of the world’s natural gas needs by 2025. This is according to the latest report of the African Energy Chamber on Africa’s Energy Outlook for 2020.
Discoveries in several countries in recent years show nearly 200 billion cubic feet of gas reserves, enough to supply two-thirds of current global demand for 20 years.
