Kyari Proposes Differentiated Energy Transition For Africa.

Group Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited Ltd., Mele Kyari, has proposed a differentiated approach to attaining energy transition for the African continent.

Kyari, who also said the Final Investment Decision on the Nigeria Morocco Gas Pipeline Project will be taken in December 2024, made the call while speaking during a Leadership Dialogue Session at the ongoing CERAWeek Conference in Houston, United States.

According to the GCEO, energy transition is a very difficult subject for countries especially in sub-Saharan Africa because geographically, the situations are different as a number of the countries are dealing with energy availability, not transition, and energy availability is closely linked to energy security.

He said although people talk about using renewables to close the energy transition gap, the money for renewables too must be found.

The GCEO said there is an ongoing engagement on the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline Project, which is at an advanced stage, to create a pipeline that will pass through thirteen African countries and to Europe.
