摘要

本文的目的是回顾非洲天然气资源的动态，并评估它如何帮助解决非洲大陆的电力挑战。本文是从对天然气和电力的描述性分析和案头回顾发展而来的。关键的发现是，尽管在非洲发现了越来越多的天然气，但它对电力生产的影响微乎其微。本研究提供了一个描述性的概述，仅限于天然气。它没有考虑其他能源如何有助于解决非洲的电力挑战。本文提请政策制定者和投资界注意“天然气-电力”价值链中的机会以及投资天然气基础设施的必要性。概述了非洲的电力挑战和天然气潜力。

Switching on an Environmentally Friendly and Affordable Light in Africa: Evaluation of the Role of Natural Gas

The purpose of this article is to review the dynamics of natural gas resources in Africa and evaluate how it can help solve the power challenges of the continent. This article develops from a descriptive analysis and desk review on natural gas and power. The key finding is that despite the increased discovery of natural gas in Africa, it has had minimal impact on power production. This study provides a descriptive overview and is limited to only natural gas. It does not consider how other energy sources can contribute to solving Africa’s power challenges. This article draws the attention of both policymakers and the investment community to the opportunities in the ‘natural gas-power’ value chain and the need to invest in gas infrastructure. An overview of the power challenges and natural gas potential of Africa is provided.
