In the Energy News Beat – Conversation in Energy with Stuart Turley, talks with NJ Ayuk, Executive Director of the African Energy Chamber, and Dr. Robert Brooks, Founder of RBAC, about Africa's journey towards energy independence and economic development. The discussion covers the importance of a balanced approach to energy policies, the need to leverage Africa’s natural gas resources to reduce energy poverty, and the impact of global energy policies on Africa’s development. They also address the role of BRICs partnerships, the challenges of transitioning from fossil fuels to renewables, and the potential for the African diaspora to contribute to sustainable growth on the continent.

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with NJ and Robert. Both men are great leaders, and this is an important conversation about delivering low-cost, sustainable energy to everyone on the planet. NJ is leading the charge in Africa, and I highly recommend following him and the African Energy Chamber as they empower Africa.\

Thank you, NJ and Robert, I really appreciate your leadership in the global energy markets. - Stu
