Africa has the gas, but lacks infrastructure – Ghana Gas CEO

Africa may be sitting on vast reserves of natural gas, but without the infrastructure to move that gas from where it is produced to where it is needed, the continent risks leaving a major economic opportunity untapped.

For African economies seeking reliable power, stronger industries and new investment opportunities, closing that infrastructure gap could determine whether the continent’s gas wealth becomes a catalyst for transformation or remains an underutilised resource.

Blay’s participation at AOW 2026 also offered Ghana an opportunity to share its experience in the midstream gas sector while making the case for greater regional cooperation in developing Africa’s energy infrastructure.
