Gas is a key enabler for economic growth and social development in the Southern Africa region, and a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, says joint venture (JV) Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Investments Company (Rompco) CEO Mlandzeni Boyce, who underscores the importance of gas as a “transitional bridge between coal and renewable-energy sources”. Established as a JV between the governments of South Africa – represented by the South African Gas Development Company (iGas) – and Mozambique, represented by Companhia Moçambicana de Gasoduto (CMG), along with integrated energy and chemical company Sasol, Rompco plays a strategic role in connecting Mozambique’s rich gasfields with South Africa’s energy market.
