By Juliet Umeh

Global and regional energy leaders and stakeholders are set to converge in Lagos to forge a path towards West Africa’s clean energy transition at the 6th West Africa LPG Expo 2025.

The company said the two-day event, scheduled for March in Lagos, solidifies its reputation as the foremost platform for advancing liquefied petroleum gas, LPG, as a transformative energy solution for the region.

Director LPG Expo, Jeffrey Leung, said: “Building on the success of the past two editions of the events, which attracted over 3,000 industry professionals and more than 80 top speakers, this year 6th West Africa LPG Expo 2025 will be the largest.

‘It will feature the region’s largest international LPG exhibition, comprising innovations from over 100 local and international exhibitors.

“The event will further comprise Influential Industry conference sessions, featuring over 50 expert speakers from the government, global investors, consultants and key LPG players in the region – while offering industrial networking opportunities.

“Supported by the Nigeria Liquefied and Compressed Gas Association, NLCGA, Nigerian Gas Associations and World Liquid Gas Association based in Paris, the exhibition is open to all energy professionals, stakeholders, and clean energy advocates,” Leung said.

Underscoring Nigeria’s Leadership role in Clean Energy transition, he noted: “As Africa’s second-largest LPG producer, Nigeria is at the forefront of integrating LPG into its energy framework. “Through the Nigerian Energy Transition Plan, targeting net-zero emissions by 2060, significant investments have been made in LPG infrastructure, enhancing production, reducing imports, and expanding access.

“Neighboring countries such as Ghana, Senegal, and Ivory Coast are also leveraging LPG to meet Africa’s 2030 clean cooking goals and reduce biomass dependency, he noted.”

Also running alongside the LPG Expo, the 2nd CNG Africa, Nigeria 2025, will emphasize Nigeria’s Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative, Pi-CNG, aiming to grow the number of Natural Gas Vehicles, NGVs to 1 million by 2026.

This initiative showcases the economic, environmental, and energy independence benefits of compressed natural gas, CNG adoption.
