If we want to end energy poverty in Africa — if we want to put an end to the days when hundreds of millions of Africans depend on inefficient biofuels such as wood and charcoal, which contribute to deforestation and pollution — the best way to do it quickly will be to bump gas production upward and start processing our resources immediately. Africa can (and should) use its gas to produce more electricity — and along the way, it can (and should) use its gas to produce propane and butane, both of which can be components of liquified petroleum gas (LPG), a cleaner-burning fuel for use in cooking or home generation. So yes, I’m recommending that every African state that possesses commercially viable gas reserves move forward with development. I say that if Africa has the gas, it ought to use what it needs to meet its own needs (and export the surplus, assuming there is one) — and it ought to do so on the largest scale possible and as quickly as possible. #africa #renewableenergy #gas #ajusttransition
