Understanding natural gas composition, extraction, uses, transport methods and supply challenges in Africa.
Between a deposit and power plants, factories or households, natural gas must travel through networks that sometimes cross borders. Two solutions dominate: pipelines, suited to continuous flows between connected territories, and liquefied natural gas (LNG), transported by ship when distance or geography makes pipelines less practical. In West Africa, the existing regional pipeline and major proposed projects illustrate the strategic role of this infrastructure.
Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is gas cooled into a liquid so it can be transported and stored in a much smaller volume. This technology connects remote fields to markets not served by a pipeline. It opens new outlets for producers but relies on an expensive, energy-intensive industrial chain sensitive to technical and geopolitical disruptions. Since 2025, production at Grand Tortue Ahmeyim has also brought Senegal and Mauritania into this global industry.
