CITAC’s Annual Review of Sub-Saharan Africa’s Downstream Oil Sector 2025 addresses the key trends in the industry: Rapid LPG demand growth, shifting fuel oil supply & demand dynamics, clean product trading flows, the impact of new refining projects, regulation changes as well as detailed expert analysis of future trends.
In this edition of CITAC’s Industry Insight, we explore the role natural gas could play in powering Africa’s development. Although it contributes only 5% to the continent’s energy mix, nearly half of Africa’s countries have proven gas reserves. Could gas offer the consistent, dispatchable power needed to electrify and industrialise?
In this edition of CITAC’s Industry Insight, we cover the topic of LPG, cleaner and cheaper power generation. Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) is widely used as a fuel for home or office applications such as heating and cooking as well as a fuel for automotives. However, its superiority as a fuel for power generation is not well known and therefore not as broadly applied as should be the case. As LPG production has grown continuously over the past decades and the outlook is for continued growth in its production, there is a case to be made to increase its use in power generation.
Energy transition is gathering pace globally. CITAC is excited to expand its service offering with its Energy Transition in Africa Service, providing insight through reports, deep-dive analysis, training and more to help our clients navigate the energy transition movement in Africa.
