The United States (U.S.), African Partners to Drive Global Clean Cooking Access at Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM16)
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is taking a leadership role at the upcoming Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM16) in Busan, South Korea, bringing governments, international organizations and industry together to accelerate global access to clean cooking. The initiative underscores Washington's commitment to advancing reliable, affordable, and healthy energy solutions worldwide, with U.S.–Africa cooperation being particularly critical to expanding clean cooking access and infrastructure across the continent. While more than one billion people have gained access to clean cooking in recent years – largely through adoption of LPG – nearly two billion people still rely on polluting fuels, with Africa representing a significant share of those affected. The African Energy Chamber (AEC) has emphasized that access to clean cooking in Africa is not just an energy challenge, but a critical development issue affecting health, economic opportunity and dignity, particularly for women and children. Expanding reliable, affordable LPG solutions across the continent requires robust infrastructure and strong collaboration with international partners, including the U.S. At CEM16, the U.S. DOE will spotlight the urgency of closing this gap, calling for strategies and investment to scale up clean cooking fuels and infrastructure and seeking to work with new partners and stakeholders to mobilize financing, deploy proven technologies and accelerate progress toward universal clean cooking access. The U.S. and African nations are working together to scale up clean cooking fuels and deploy the infrastructure necessary to reach every household, with LPG recognized as a practical, reliable and scalable solution. A Minister-CEO roundtable – Fueling Life: Reliable Energy Access for All – will spotlight approaches to financing, deploying infrastructure and scaling technologies that expand access to clean cooking fuels. The session will feature opening remarks from Michael Kelly, Deputy Managing Director of the World Liquid Gas Association, and James P. Danly, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy, followed by interventions from senior policymakers including Khalid Almehaid, Deputy Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change, Ministry of Energy, Saudi Arabia; Hohyeon Lee, Second Vice Minister, Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, South Korea; Samantha Graham-Maré, Deputy Minister, Ministry of Electricity and Energy, South Africa; and Ditte Juul Jørgensen, Director-General for Energy, European Commission. Private sector leaders will also take the stage to discuss solutions for accelerating clean cooking access and the role of industry in mobilizing investment. NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the AEC, and Jonathan Fancher, CEO of Petredec Global, will join the discussion to share perspectives from the global gas and African energy sectors. 'Expanding access to reliable, affordable clean cooking in Africa goes beyond energy and requires strong partnerships and infrastructure investment. The African Energy Chamber is committed to working with governments, the private sector and partners like the U.S. DOE to drive investment, scale LPG deployment and deliver the infrastructure needed to make clean cooking a reality for every household,' states Ayuk. The event will mark an important milestone in the lead-up to the launch of the new CEM Clean Cooking Initiative, Fueling Lives: Affordable, Reliable, Healthy Cooking for All, designed to catalyze global investment and partnerships. The initiative aims to fast-track deployment of clean cooking fuels and infrastructure, with a particular focus on regions where the need is most urgent, such as Africa and South and Southeast Asia.

Adelaar Energy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Grace Orife Joins African Energy Week (AEW) 2025 to Discuss African Energy Solutions
Grace Orife, CEO of oil and gas consultancy and services company Adelaar Energy Limited, has joined this year's edition of the African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies conference as a speaker. Taking place September 29 to October 3 in Cape Town, AEW: Invest in African Energies represents the premier meeting platform for the continent's energy industry, convening stakeholders from upstream operators to downstream project developers to service providers, technology experts and policymakers. As the CEO of a full-stream oil and gas consultancy, Orife offers a unique perspective into Africa's energy landscape. Adelaar Energy – headquartered in Nigeria – offers a variety of services that support oil and gas projects across Africa. These include engineering, procurement, construction and implementation solutions, as well as alternative energy products. By working closely with upstream operators, the company strives to enhance production in the country, in line with Nigeria's goals of reaching 2.5 million barrels per day in the coming years. At AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025, Orife is expected to share insights into the role innovative energy solutions play in supporting Africa's production targets. AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit for more information about this exciting event. As one of the continent's biggest oil producer, Nigeria is working to address production decline by advancing exploration projects as well as efforts to maximize output at active fields. The country is witnessing greater spending across its upstream market, with leading international operators targeting new drilling and development campaigns. Notably, ExxonMobil is investing $1.5 billion to revitalize the Usan deepwater oilfield in offshore Block OML 138, with a final investment decision expected in 2025. Shell's Nigerian subsidiary SNEPCo is spearheading the $5 billion Conga North project, while TotalEnergies and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company are driving a $550 million non-associated gas project. With the country seeking to unlock $30 billion in oil and $5 billion in gas investments by 2029, a strong pipeline of projects is on the horizon for Nigeria. Amid these developments, services offered by companies such as Adelaar Energy will not only support operations but ensure projects align with Nigeria's broader goals of reducing emissions, enhancing output and delivering impactful energy to West Africa. Orife's participation at AEW: Invest in African Energies reflects a commitment to supporting African production and is expected to create new pathways for industry collaboration. 'To meet its production goals, Africa requires innovation and collaboration – particularly between operators and service providers. Companies such as Adelaar Energy stand at the intersection of the continent's oil, gas and energy industries, supporting projects through technology-driven solutions. As Africa strives to make energy poverty history, these solutions will prove highly valuable as countries balance operational efficiency with sustainability,' states Tomás C. Gerbasio, Strategy and Business Development Director of the African Energy Chamber. Distributed by APO Group on behalf of African Energy Chamber.
