The oil and gas industry is essential to solving current global energy challenges, including playing a “critical” role in scaling up renewable energy, Cop28 President-designate Dr Sultan Al Jaber has said.

With over 620 trillion cubic feet of proven gas resources across the continent, the development of the industry offers newfound opportunities for Africa to tap into an alternative energy supply.
Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Energy Minister, says Ghana is taking the necessary steps to gradually switch from the use of fossil fuels to carbon-free and renewable energy sources.
