South Africa plans to improve infrastructure such as pipelines and ports to boost gas imports for use in power generation, the acting director general of the department of energy said on Tuesday. “Infrastructure in landing gas is lacking, we want it as quick as possible, in the next 24 to 30 months,” Wolsey Barnard told Reuters on the sidelines of an Africa energy conference. “It’s not only piping that you will need. You need mooring facilities. You need degasification facilities,” Barnard added.
