Panel Recap: Energy Transition vs. Energy Addition - the Role of Oil & Gas in Africa’s Future

1️⃣ The Reality Check:
- 90% of Uganda's emissions come from wood burning - not industrial activity
- African nations are rejecting imposed energy transition narratives and defining their own strategies

2️⃣ Progress in Action:
- Namibia launching first zero-emission iron production facility while developing gas legislation
- Uganda's net-zero by 2065 plan prioritises LPG as primary transition fuel

3️⃣ The Investment Shift:
African companies are creating indigenous financing models - reinvesting oil revenues into gas infrastructure and cross-sector collaborations

4️⃣ Bottom Line:
Africa's path to clean prosperity isn't about choosing between fossil fuels OR renewables - it's about strategic energy addition that ensures economic growth while reducing environmental impact
