Gas-to-power an industrial milestone for South Africa

The South African government’s bold bid to procure energy from gas could position the country as an African gas leader. The Department of Energy (DoE) says development of South Africa’s gas industry could be anchored on the demand from its imminent gas-to-power programme. This makes gas-to-power a milestone not only for power generation but also for South African industry to access a natural, cleaner, and cheaper fuel to drive economic growth and industrialisation. It could position South Africa as an African gas leader, ready to take advantage of the continent’s rapid discovery and adoption of gas.
