The case for gas as South Africa prepares way for gas-to-power procurement

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. That makes Gas-to-Power a milestone not just for power generation, but also for South African industry to access a natural, cleaner and cheaper fuel with which to drive economic growth and industrialisation. It could position the country as an African gas leader, ready to take advantage of the continent’s rapid discovery and adoption of gas.
