Shortfalls in financial flows, failures to deal with debt and a lack of voice in global decision-making arenas are longstanding issues that African leaders are now seeking to address, with leaders from Ghana, Kenya and Zambia setting out a blueprint for reform covering everything from UN Security Council seats to the reallocation of $100bn-worth of assets held by the IMF. The extent to which these ambitious goals can be achieved could prove critical to Africa’s ability to finance and structure the energy transition on its terms – but the continent’s governments also need to accelerate their own reforms.

African gas and LNG projects

Subscriber

Revised March 2025, this map illustrates gas and LNG projects across the African continent. The base map shows the location of major gas fields and recent significant discoveries with major existing and future pipelines marked. Actual and planned LNG (liquefaction and regsification) facilities are also shown. An inset shows a more detailed view of the West and Central African coastal region from Côte d'Ivoire to Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon. A series of text panels around the map provide key details and the current status of major gas producing areas - covering Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Mozambique, Central Africa, Southern Africa (Namibia and South Africa), Tanzania and West Africa. The map is presented as a PDF file using eps graphics, meaning that there is no loss of resolution as the file is enlarged.

First exported in 1964 from a then Royal Dutch/Shell project in Algerian hub Arzew, liquefied natural gas (LNG) was sometimes thought a marginal product during oil’s heyday. But over the past two decades it has come to be seen as an increasingly important energy transition fuel; its consumption produces around half the CO2 emissions of coal.

The 2.4m t/yr first phase of the cross-border Mauritania/Senegal Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) gas development has once again been delayed. Kosmos chief executive Andrew Inglis said the latest setback stemmed from GTA’s floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel requiring further repairs in Tenerife, following damage incurred during its journey from Qidong, China.

Slow progress at some of sub-Saharan Africa’s most high-profile LNG developments come as exporters from other parts of the world race to sign new long-term deals with buyers from Asia and Europe. The risk for African producers is that they could miss out on lucrative opportunities, costing governments large amounts in lost foreign earnings, writes Marc Howard*.

Algeria is squeezing whatever gas it can out of the system for export and Morocco is looking at different options for its smaller reserves, but Libya and Egypt face bigger challenges still, with the bare minimum export LNG leaving Egyptian terminals this year.

With crude now flowing through the 1,982km Niger-Benin Export Pipeline, a fivefold increase in oil production beckons for Niger, amid signs that Niamey is emerging from post-coup isolation and has mended ties with Ecowas and the US – a critical factor in developing the greenfield uranium mine at Dasa.

Revised in March 2024, this map provides a detailed view of the power sector in Tanzania. The locations of power generation facilities that are operating, under construction or planned are shown by type – including liquid fuels, gas and liquid fuels, natural gas, coal, geothermal, hydroelectricity, solar PV, wind and biomass/biogas. Generation sites are marked with different sized circles to show sites of 1-9MW, 10-99MW, 100-499MW and 500MW and above. Existing and future transmission and distribution lines are shown ranging from 33kV to 400kV. Actual and planned cross-border interconnectors are also shown including lines to Burundi, DR Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia. An inset also illustrates Tanzania's future regional  interconnections. Three small pie charts show installed capacity by fuel, and the percentage of capacity which is on-grid and state-owned. Power generation data was drawn from our African Energy Live Data platform, which contains project level detail on power plants and projects across Africa. The map also shows the location of Tanzania's offshore gas fields and other hydrocarbons infrastructure including pipelines and proposed LNG facilities. The map is presented as a PDF file using eps graphics, meaning that there is no loss of resolution as the file is enlarged.
