The meeting will examine how to deliver affordable and reliable energy across the continent and meet SDG7 ambitions, energy security and the role of gas in Africa’s energy transition. Emerging decarbonisation technologies including low carbon hydrogen, advanced civil nuclear and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) will also feature during the two-day discussion.
Produced by African Energy and held under the Chatham House Rule, the meeting is known for its knowledge-led approach and unusually robust debate.
The meeting provides a forum for high-level executives and government officials to constructively discuss challenges, new ideas and trends in the energy sector.
It is held at the Royal Society of Arts (RSA House) in London, which provides a relaxed setting to network and arrange meetings.
