African energy leaders gather in Washington for Powering Africa Summit

As demand and supply for natural gas and LNG across regions undergo radical changes, the economics of energy systems will change, however it is clear that the market needs stability and a connected path forward outlining the investment opportunities. 

At Powering Africa Summit and Latin America Forum energy stakeholders will look to address some of the key talking points around these fuels including:

•What is the natural gas market going to look like in the future? 

•What role will LNG play in the global supply? 

•How will private sector support massive gas sector development?
