ROAD TO ADIPEC: Matching the energy transition with pragmatism

The big dream of the energy transition risks coming unstuck if the needs of people – particularly those without access to reliable power – are ignored. 

Proscovia Nabbanja, CEO of the Ugandan National Oil Co. (UNOC), and Manfredi Caltagirone, head of the UN Environment Programme’s Methane Emissions Observatory, come together to talk over the scale of the problem and how to find a new way. 

There is a need for a pragmatic energy transition, the two speakers agreed, which can recognise these challenges and come up with how best to drive the change the world needs. 

Manfredi noted the impact of climate change that is already being seen, calling for the energy industry to take steps to reduce gas losses.

Proscovia highlighted Lake Albert development, noting the efforts that the operators have taken to cut emissions – and the transformative impact of oil revenues for Uganda.
