Gap analysis needed to guide gas-to-power industry growth

With the potential of gas as an alternative energy source in South Africa an encouraging prospect, South African Oil and Gas Alliance (Saoga) CEO Adrian Strydom says the gas-to-power industry needs to conduct an accurate gap analysis, and engage in upskilling and capacity building to ensure that South Africa is on par with world-class standards. South Africa’s National Development Plan regards natural gas as a viable alternative to coal. It further emphasises liquid natural gas (LNG) import facilities and exploration for domestic gas as infrastructure priorities.
