Energy Pathways
As a result of the mismatches that exist in production and consumption of fossil fuels, there is a clear need for energy pathways to be created to facilitate the transfer of primary energy between producer and consumer.
These pathways are high-risk areas prone to piracy, theft, disruption and damage.
WHY DO COUNTRIES SEEK TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN DOMESTIC SUPPLIES?
• Remove risks created through these pathways
• Reduces cost
