            <description><![CDATA[The Industrial Gas Users Association-Southern Africa (IGUA-SA) has outlined the policy requirements it believes are now required to mitigate what would otherwise be a steep decline in gas supply to domestic industry by 2030. Described as a ‘gas cliff’ the fall-off is anticipated when existing supply from Mozambique’s Pande-Temane fields is no longer available to industrial consumers from 2028 and after Sasol ends its temporary two-year supply of methane-rich gas, produced using coal.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In an effort to support African and Caribbean economies affected by the ongoing Middle East conflict, multilateral trade finance institution African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) reports that it will make available $10-billion under its Gulf Crisis Response Programme (GCRP). The bank states that the programme aims to limit economic shocks affecting countries that rely on fuel, liquefied natural gas (LNG), fertilisers and food imports from the Gulf region. It does this by providing short-term foreign exchange and liquidity support to member States.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Global energy demand growth slowed to 1.3% in 2025, which is slightly below the preceding decade’s average of 1.4% and significantly lower than in 2024, while global electricity demand increased by about 3%, which is more than twice the rate of overall energy demand growth, says international organisation the International Energy Agency (IEA). The main reasons for the slowdown in global energy demand were lower global economic growth, less extreme temperatures in some regions and rapid uptake of more efficient technologies.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Even under the low-carbon scenario, modelled by consulting firm Bain & Co in its 'Global Energy and Materials Outlook 2026' report, fossil fuel supply constitutes 52% of global primary energy supply by 2040 and the world warms by 2.1 °C by 2100. Even in the most coordinated decarbonisation scenario, climate impacts are severe and require that capital be allocated to resilience strategies, it notes.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Amid a challenging energy landscape, diesel-based power generation remains one of the predominant standby energy sources across the African continent, despite diesel generator demand slowly plateauing, says global diesel and alternative fuel generators manufacturer Cummins power generation markets Europe, Middle East, India and Africa executive director Ignacio Gonzalez. Although there is a need for a “sensible balance” between global decarbonisation efforts and Africa’s need for reliable power, in practice, energy security continues to “come first” across most African markets.]]></description>
