The Federation of British Businesses (FBBC) has become a Partner for MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025, underscoring the growing importance of international collaboration in developing the energy sector across the MSGBC Basin – Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and guinea-Conakry. This partnership highlights the UK’s increasing involvement in the region’s energy landscape,extending beyond conventional oil and gas to encompass the burgeoning green hydrogen sector. the event, scheduled for October 6-9, 2025 in Dakar, Senegal, aims to unlock investment and accelerate energy advancement in the region.
UK Investment in the MSGBC Basin: A Diversifying Portfolio
British companies are already substantially invested in the MSGBC Basin, with a focus on both hydrocarbon exploration and the energy transition. A key project is the Greater Tortue/aegis LNG project, a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) development shared by Senegal and Mauritania. This project is expected to significantly boost energy production in both countries and contribute to regional energy security.
Though, the UK’s involvement isn’t limited to oil and gas. Recognizing the global shift towards sustainable energy, British firms are actively pursuing opportunities in green hydrogen production. bp is exploring large-scale green hydrogen production in Mauritania, while Chariot is developing Project Nour, a substantial green hydrogen initiative also in Mauritania. These projects demonstrate the UK’s commitment to supporting the MSGBC region’s transition to a cleaner energy future.
