Summit to outline African LPG market growth potential

As the fastest-growing LPG market in the world today, Africa is rich with potential for LPG industry players, say experts. However, distribution challenges, affordability and safety issues must be addressed in order to capitalise on this potential.
This emerged ahead of the fourth edition of the Africa LPG Summit, co-located with CNG-NGV Africa, which will be staged from 11 -12 July in Johannesburg.

Over 500 energy stakeholders will meet at Emperor’s Palace in July for the summit – the largest conference around LPG and CNG in the region. The event is presented by the international LP GAS SUMMIT with the support of the South Africa Oil & Gas Alliance, the World LPG Association, the Petroleum Institute of East Africa and the Global LPG Partnership.

Attended by dignitaries from South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Zimbabwe, the conference will assess LPG demand, supply and growth potential across various regions of Africa, consider South Africa’s potential role as Africa’s LPG energy hub and discuss safety and consumer issues around LPG.

Organiser, Vincent Choy, Director of the LPG Summit says much has been done to make LPG more affordable and accessible in Africa, but that moving consumers from other fuels to LPG requires collaborative efforts, supportive government policies and more efficient training and distribution.

“This annual gathering of the top LPG executives and policy makers in Africa aims to build a sustainable platform on which to promote LPG, both as a means of providing a modern, clean and convenient fuel for all, as well as for saving lives affected by air pollution from the burning of traditional fuel and diesel. This year, we have made our LPG Summit free to attend, giving us more leverage in bringing together the right stakeholders to hold the right discussion,” he says.

The two-day Africa LPG Summit and CNG-NGV Africa will assess the state of LPG markets, policies and infrastructure in Africa, as well as showcasing the latest in LPG technologies.
International experts will present on:

• Updates on major markets throughout Africa and where new growth opportunities lie 
• Key measures to making LPG more accessible and affordable in Africa
• South Africa as the LPG energy hub of Africa? Challenges and opportunities
• Dealing with illegal refilling and distribution of LPG in Africa
• Safety in LPG: competency and managerial training and education
• Social engagement and consumer education to create buy-in for the switch to LPG
• Updates on policies and regulations around LPG

The Africa LPG Summit and CNG-NGV Africa summit will be held from 11 -12 July at Emperor’s Palace, Johannesburg.  Download the brochure to see the full agenda here.
