The participation of influential figures, including Mohamed Ould Ghazouani, President of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, in the 2023 edition underscores the importance of the region.
The diverse slate of project developments, both in hydrocarbons and renewable energy, indicates a comprehensive approach to energy security and a just transition. Additionally, the focus on regulatory reforms, cross-border infrastructure projects, and the development of Special Economic Zones reflects a holistic effort to enhance the region’s enabling environment for business.
The emphasis on renewable energy growth, such as the US $34bn billion green hydrogen project in Mauritania and other initiatives across the region, highlights a commitment to sustainable and clean energy solutions. The integration of renewable energy with hydrocarbon projects is a notable aspect of the region’s energy strategy.
“This year’s event featured the participation of Mohamed Ould Ghazouani, President of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, alongside key Ministries and Africa’s energy leaders, highlighting not only Mauritania’s enabling landscape but the boundless opportunities throughout the entire MSGBC basin. With the participation of 16 countries, the 2023 edition of the conference set the stage for unparalleled collaboration and exploration in MSGBC’s oil, gas and power sector,” said Devi Paulsen-Abbott, ECP CEO.
