BRAZZAVILLE, Congo (Republic of the), March 27, 2025/APO Group/ –“SNPC has identified sectors for valorization, which is the local gas market for industries, cement plants and so forth, and the secondary market to export. While exports are a main pillar of the Congo LNG project to generate revenues for the government, the ultimate objective is to transfer competencies from IOCs to the local communities.”
Emphasizing the potential for regional synergies and capacity building in the gas sector, Oumar Semega, CEO & Founder of Imperatus Energy, detailed how integrating local markets with cross-border cooperation and innovative technology can unlock substantial opportunities in Africa’s energy landscape.
“There are possibilities for synergies within the supply chain for Congo, as a gas exporting country, beyond what we can do in the local market… Collaboration and technology – all of this is possible.”
“We must have a common vision. Competition is good, but we must share knowledge, support each other and bring our strengths together. If one business succeeds, then that knowledge can be transferred,” echoed Nosayaba Evbuomwan, Executive & Associate Director at Accenture.
