Global and regional energy leaders are perfecting plans to forge a path towards West Africa’s clean energy transition and foster innovation, collaboration, and sustainability in the sector.
This step will be achieved during the 6th edition of the West Africa LPG Expo, a platform for advancing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a transformative energy solution for the region in Lagos.
According to the organisers, part of what the energy stakeholders across West Africa would deliberate on between March 3rd and 4th, 2025 in Lagos will be ways to achieve the 2060 net-zero emissions target.
Speaking about the summit, Jeffery Leung, director of the LPG Expo said the programme seeks to foster innovation, collaboration, and sustainability in the sector.
He also said that as a global leader in hosting premier events for the LPG industry, the LPG Expo has a proven track record of connecting thousands of industry professionals and continues to champion the transition to cleaner energy worldwide.
Leung said that the event which has the backing of the Nigeria Liquefied and Compressed Gas Association (NLCGA), Nigerian Gas Associations and World Liquid Gas Association based in Paris, is open to all energy professionals, stakeholders, and clean energy advocates.

According to him, Nigeria as Africa’s second-largest LPG producer is at the forefront of integrating LPG into its energy framework, underscoring the country’s leadership role in the Clean Energy transition.
“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”.
“Neighbouring countries such as Ghana, Senegal, and Ivory Coast are also leveraging LPG to meet Africa’s 2030 clean cooking goals and reduce biomass dependency”, Leung said
He further said that 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’s 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”.
“Also running alongside the LPG Expo, the 2nd CNG Africa, Nigeria 2025, will emphasise Nigeria’s Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (Pi-CNG), aiming to grow the number of Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) to 1 million by 2026,” he added.
Leung said the programmes showcase the economic, environmental, and energy independence benefits of compressed natural gas (CNG) adoption.
