At the 6th West Africa LPG Expo 2025, regional and international energy leaders and stakeholders will come together in Lagos to pave the way for West Africa’s clean energy transition.

The corporation claimed that the two-day event, which is set for March in Lagos, furthers its standing as the leading forum for promoting liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG, as a game-changing energy source for the area.

Jeffrey Leung, director of LPG Expo, stated, “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.

“As Africa’s second-largest LPG producer, Nigeria is at the forefront of integrating LPG into its energy framework,” he said, highlighting Nigeria’s leadership role in the clean energy revolution. The Nigerian Energy Transition Plan, which aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060, has made large investments in LPG infrastructure, increasing access, decreasing imports, and improving production.

“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.”

The 2nd CNG Africa, Nigeria 2025, which is concurrent with the LPG Expo, will highlight Nigeria’s Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative, Pi-CNG, which aims to increase the number of Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) to one million by 2026.
