Africa’s economy thrives mainly from agriculture, trade and human resource. For years these three have dominated Africa’s market, but in recent years researchers have found that Africa’s abundant natural resource also includes Natural gas. This discovery later revolutionized Africa’s economy as a select few countries have significantly profited from its exportation and use.

Here is an outlook demonstrating how Africa’s natural gas production is an energy solution that can propel its entire economy to new heights.

Understanding Natural gas and its uses

Before further elaborating on how Africa’s natural gas resources are the envy of other continents, we must first understand the context behind this energy solution and why it is so important.

What is Natural Gas

Natural gas is a mixture of gas which is potent in hydrocarbon. These gases(methane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.) are naturally found in the air. However, they are mainly far less potent to process.
