In a changing global energy landscape, the question is not just what energy system is built, but whether it will still be relevant in the future.

That question shaped NRGI’s workshop in Abuja on assessing Nigeria’s gas ambitions for a more sustainable energy future.

Valuable discussion “strategic choices for an uncertain #energy future” hosted by @NRGInstitute — critical: aligning what #MNCs are investing in with a State’s political goals; national oil companies are not necessarily operators (Valerie Marcel & Francisco Monaldi).

Ghana has ratified the Ewoyaa lithium agreement. Now implementation begins and scrutiny matters most.

In this video, NRGI’s @Patrickkwabena and @susfitzgerald explain why early decisions on lithium management will shape development outcomes.

@patrickkwabena @thomasscurfield & @dsadjei outlined what this shift would take from government:

✅ Ground decisions in data-driven economics
✅ Address energy constraints from the start
✅ Communicate trade-offs openly

Full report coming soon.

[Natural Resource Governance Institute @NRGInstitute]

Some governments are planning a transition away from oil. Others are doubling down. Meanwhile, investment is shifting, prices are volatile, demand is uncertain. For NOCs, this is a defining moment. The decisions made now will shape outcomes for decades.

@AndreaFurnaro Piece is here: https://t.co/kkLJ4fDApL. We draw on examples from Colombia to Thailand & everywhere in between to lay out factors to consider in evolving business strategies, defining strategic focus and assessing risk appetite - of the NOC and the broader economy.

[Patrick Heller @prpheller]

New report out today - led by @AndreaFurnaro w/ many others - on how Nat'l Oil Co's build transformation agendas. Important step for NOCs and their govts - not to clutch onto the past or focus on what NOT to do, but build systematic approach to assessing new opportunities 1/
