African Energy Week (AEW) 2026 to Explore How Carbon capture and storage (CCS) Can Unlock New Value From Africa’s Oil and Gas Assets

African Energy Week (AEW) 2026 will feature discussions on carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a means to reduce emissions from existing oil and gas infrastructure while preserving asset value and creating new investment opportunities. The dedicated panel, titled 'Carbon Capture and Storage: Turning Africa's Oil and Gas Asset into Climate Solutions,' will explore how carbon-management technologies can support lower-emissions hydrocarbon production and extend the economic life of existing infrastructure. Depleted oil and gas reservoirs in North, West, and Southern Africa could provide permanent carbon storage, while existing pipelines and processing facilities may serve as foundations for regional carbon capture projects.
