| description |
Sub-Saharan Africa's persistent
power shortages act as a severe constraint on its economic
and human development. Over the last several years, a series
of major offshore gas discoveries in Mozambique and Tanzania
have rekindled interest in expanding the use of natural gas
to address the continent's power shortages. Once
thought of as a Nigeria-only story, gas-to power in
Sub-Saharan Africa is now being considered in a
continent-wide context, both as a supplement to
Africa's abundant hydropower resources and as a
replacement for more carbon intensive coal and liquid fuels.
But the concentration of gas resources in just a few
countries and the virtual absence of gas transportation
infrastructure create economic challenges to the wider
adoption of gas as a power generation fuel, particularly in
smaller countries that cannot achieve economies of scale in
gas production and transportation. As a result, the timeline
between the discovery of gas and its commercialization is
often measured in decades. This study examines the economic
conditions facing policy makers, planners, and commercial
actors with a stake in gas-to-power development in
Sub-Saharan Africa. It looks at the upstream, midstream, and
downstream segments of the gas value chain to identify where
the economics align in favor of gas-to-power development and
where they do not. |
