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.
