Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan (ETP) was unveiled last year which highlighted the important role of Natural Gas as a transition fuel to a net-zero economy. But several challenges remain to be addressed to meet the current needs including – gas supply issues, scattered demand centers, security of gas infrastructure, and an uncertain macro-economic outlook.
Investing in developing dual-use infrastructure and innovative technologies is crucial to push up supply.
