The idea of creating a Central African Pipeline System (CAPS) that will make Central Africa an “energy poverty free zone” by 2030, is to use the oil and gas that the West’s insane “energy transition” does not want and instead use it to industrialize Africa. The CAPS was presented in great detail in a presentation by its principal promoter, H.E. Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima, Minister of Mines and Hydrocarbons of Equatorial Guinea, in a conference called MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2022. The full presentation and discussion can be seen at the link below.
The Minister slammed the energy transition policy of banning fossil fuels, saying the demonstrators in the West should come to Africa to see what it is like to live without electricity. “Africans do not want to breathe clean air in the dark.” He said that, if at the end of 2030, when everyone is supposed to give up fossil fuels, you do not want our hydro-carbons, that is great for us. We will use them to industrialize Africa.
The CAPS involves 11 countries, five of wich are oil and gas producers. It involves creating three multinational pipeline systems. The first is the Central North Pipeline System, linking Cameroon, Central African Republic and Chad; the second, the Central West Pipeline System, linking Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and The Republic of the Congo; and the third, the Central Southern Pipeline System, links Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi.
