Why Strategic Hydrocarbon Investments Still Matter in a Changing Energy Landscape
In the rush toward green energy, it’s easy to forget a key reality: for many developing nations, hydrocarbons remain the foundation of energy security and economic stability. Rising Resources recognizes this dual truth and continues to invest in oil and gas production that powers Africa today while supporting the transition to tomorrow.
The Energy Gap in Africa
Over 600 million people in Africa still lack access to reliable electricity. For many countries, hydrocarbons like natural gas and oil are the only viable solution for powering homes, industries, and transport in the short to medium term. These resources provide the backbone for economic development, job creation, and national infrastructure.
Rising’s Approach to Responsible Hydrocarbon Development
Rising Resources takes a balanced approach to hydrocarbons. We invest in assets that are not only economically viable but also operate under strict environmental and governance standards. Our focus regions; Nigeria, Ghana, and beyond: are rich in untapped potential, and we work closely with local governments and communities to ensure our operations benefit host nations in a meaningful and lasting way.
A Platform for Transition
Far from being at odds with the green transition, hydrocarbons are part of the bridge. Revenue generated from oil and gas can fund renewable energy infrastructure, while natural gas in particular offers a cleaner-burning alternative to coal and diesel, helping reduce overall emissions in developing economies.
Building African Energy Independence
By developing local resources and reducing dependency on imported fuels, Rising Resources is helping African nations secure their energy futures. This is about more than power—it’s about sovereignty, resilience, and self-determination in a volatile global market.
