Mapambano ya kumiliki gesi ya Afrika

This report by Global Energy Monitor analyzes the expansion of gas infrastructure in Africa, highlighting a significant trend toward export-oriented projects driven by Europe's short-term energy needs following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The document argues that the focus on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports and pipelines risks creating 'stranded assets' and diverts investment from domestic energy access and renewable energy.

• Planned gas infrastructure expansion in Africa is estimated at US $245 billion, with a heavy emphasis on exports to Europe to address short-term energy crises. This focus creates a risk of stranded projects and hinders investment in domestic energy production and renewable energy.
• Investment in LNG infrastructure is heavily skewed toward exports. Of the estimated US $103 billion capital cost for LNG terminals, 92% is allocated to export terminals, which are expected to increase regional export capacity by 111% to 79.3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), while contributing little to domestic electricity generation.
• Nigeria, Tanzania, and Mozambique have the highest estimated funding needs for proposed LNG terminals at US $18 billion, US $30 billion, and US $25 billion respectively. This occurs despite low domestic electricity access rates: 51% in Nigeria, 40% in Tanzania, and 31% in Mozambique.
• Planned gas pipeline construction requires US $89 billion in funding, but the vast majority remains unfunded. Only US $4 billion is allocated to projects currently under construction, while US $85 billion is for proposed projects. Nigeria leads in current construction (1,427 km), while South Africa (4,792 km) and Mozambique (4,352 km) lead in proposed lengths.
• There is a significant gap in funding for gas-to-power plants. While US $62 billion is needed for planned plants, only US $9.7 billion is allocated to those under construction, with US $52.3 billion for proposed projects. Nigeria and South Africa have the highest funding requirements at US $21.2 billion and US $16.3 billion respectively.
• Current operational gas power capacity in Africa is 109.2 GW, with Egypt being the largest user at 51,608 MW. Planned capacity totals 64.2 GW, but only 10.5 GW are currently under construction, while 17.3 GW are in preparation and 36.4 GW have been announced.
