This forum will objectively advance the interest of the gas industry by addressing both evolutionary and innovative changes in technology, structural developments and markets within the confines of legislative frameworks and policy.
The minister's involvement in the conference is supported by the fact that the Department of Energy, through legislative framework, has stipulated a need to diversify primary energy sources and move away from the high dependence on coal in the country.
Gas as a commodity emphatically fits in South Africa's energy policy position. Government's commitment towards developing a gas industry is crucial as it will feed into the energy mix to ensure a security of energy supply.
Members of the media are invited to attend and cover this conference.
