2024: A Critical Year for Oil and Gas
Solewant Group describes 2024 as a turning point for the oil and gas industry, marked by volatility and evolving trends. Geopolitical tensions, fluctuating demand, and shifting energy policies have tested the sector, with OPEC working to balance supply and demand.
In Africa, countries like Nigeria, Angola, and Algeria remain central players in the energy landscape. However, infrastructure limitations and regulatory hurdles continue to challenge the sector. Despite this, Solewant highlights a rise in investments in digital technology and energy diversification across the continent this year.
The company also underscores Africa’s growing shift toward localised energy solutions, including hybrid systems that combine fossil fuels with renewable energy. “Africa is transitioning toward self-sufficient, sustainable energy systems,” Solewant said.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are also gaining momentum. They play a key role in reducing emissions. Solewant actively integrates these technologies into its sustainability strategy.
Solewant Energy Summit: Driving Collaboration and Innovation
The Solewant Energy Summit, now in its eighth year, fosters collaboration and innovation in Africa’s energy sector. The event brings together industry leaders, government officials, and global stakeholders to address the continent’s energy challenges.
The Summit facilitates partnerships between African and international companies, resulting in joint ventures and policy reforms. It also provides a platform to advance technological innovations tailored to Africa’s unique energy needs.
“The Summit has created a favourable environment for investment and policy reforms,” Solewant said.
As the energy industry evolves, Solewant remains committed to using the Summit as a platform to shape Africa’s energy future.
