ARDA seeks Africa’s downstream energy transition, security, sustainable finance

Converges On South Africa To Chat Leeway For Cleaner Fuel, LPG, Others

Amid global energy crisis and intense push towards net-zero, African Refiners and Distributors Association (ARDA) has called for leeway that will ensure downstream energy transition in Africa, as well as sustainable finance that will create energy security on the continent.

This is coming as the pan-African body concludes arrangements to bring global industry players to Cape Town, South Africa to discuss options for emerging energy issues.

Spotlighting the challenges of decarbonisation economic opportunities, infrastructure financing that would accelerate Africa’s Energy Transition, carbon abatement projects as well as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), biofuels and other sustainable fuels integration for energy security, President of ARDA and Managing Director of SAR refinery in Dakar, Senegal, Marieme Ndoye Decreane, said immediate actions were needed on the continent to achieve projected objectives in the sector.
