Global and regional energy leaders and stakeholders are set to converge in Lagos to forge a path towards West Africa's clean energy transition

Global and regional energy leaders and stakeholders are set to converge in Lagos to forge a path towards West Africa’s clean energy transition at the 6th West Africa LPG Expo 2025.

Billed to hold between March 3 and 4, 2025, at the Balmoral Convention Center, Victoria Island Lagos, this flagship event solidifies its reputation as the foremost platform for advancing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a transformative energy solution for the region.

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 6th West Africa LPG Expo 2025 will be the largest.

It will feature the regions 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.

Supported by the Nigeria Liquefied and Compressed Gas Association (NLCGA), Nigerian Gas Associations and World Liquid Gas Association based in Paris, the exhibition is open to all energy professionals, stakeholders, and clean energy advocates.

Underscoring Nigeria’s Leadership role in Clean Energy transition, the organisers
noted: As Africas second-largest LPG producer, Nigeria is at the forefront of integrating LPG into its energy framework. 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 Africas 2030 clean cooking goals and reduce biomass dependency, the organisers noted.

Also running alongside the LPG Expo, the 2nd CNG Africa, Nigeria 2025, will emphasise Nigeria’s Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (Pi-CNG), aiming at growing the number of Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) to one million by 2026.

This initiative showcases the economic, environmental, and energy independence benefits of compressed natural gas (CNG) adoption.

A global leader in hosting premier events for the LPG industry, LPG Expo seeks to foster innovation, collaboration, and sustainability in the sector. With a proven track record of connecting thousands of industry professionals, LPG Expo continues to champion the transition to cleaner energy worldwide.
