The African Energy Chamber (AEC) has recently announced its partnership with the inaugural Eurasia Africa Energy Summit (EAES) 2024, scheduled to take place on September 19–20 in Astana, Kazakhstan. The summit aims to facilitate business synergies, technology innovation, and knowledge exchange within the energy sector, with a particular focus on Central Asia and Africa.
Linking Two Regions
EAES serves as a vital platform connecting Central Asia and Africa, regions eager to optimize their oil, natural gas, and renewable resources for economic development and job creation. Notable African projects like Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG in Mauritania and Senegal, the Lobito Corridor in Angola, Rovuma LNG in Mozambique, and the Hyphen Hydrogen Energy facility in Namibia underscore the continent's diverse and untapped energy potential. With many of these projects still in development, foreign investment in infrastructure, skills, and technology plays a crucial role, presenting opportunities for new energy partnerships with Central Asian stakeholders.
AEC's Commitment to Energy Development
As a prominent voice in Africa's energy sector, the AEC is dedicated to advancing energy cooperation and development globally. Through its investment promotion and outreach initiatives, the AEC collaborates with energy industry stakeholders worldwide to unlock commercial prospects, foster connections, and facilitate investment in Africa's energy markets.
Participation in EAES 2024 aligns with the AEC's overarching goal of eradicating energy poverty in Africa by 2030 and ensuring a just energy transition on the continent. Committed to promoting Africa's energy investment opportunities, the Chamber seeks to provide access to industry insights and establish an Africa-led narrative on critical issues like local content, fiscal regimes, climate change, geopolitical stability, and energy security.
Building Synergies and Sharing Insights
NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the AEC, emphasizes the importance of collaborating with global partners to drive Africa's energy sector forward. Through its participation in EAES 2024, the Chamber aims to forge synergies, share insights, and explore opportunities for sustainable growth and investment across both regions.
Highlighted sessions at EAES 2024 will cover a wide range of topics shaping the energy landscape, including ministerial discussions, innovation and technology panels, local content initiatives, energy investment opportunities, and green hydrogen developments. As an official partner, the AEC will contribute expertise in oil and gas, policy implementation, and local content development to identify key areas for bilateral trade, investment, and cooperation.
