Can sub-Saharan Africa help fill the EU’s gas gap?

Africa has potential to expand LNG exports, but its additional contribution is likely to remain limited

The EU is attempting to wean itself off imports of Russian gas, which accounted for almost 40pc of the bloc’s supplies last year, a volume equivalent to almost 115mn t of LNG.
