KAMPALA

As Uganda prepares to ramp up oil and gas production, a heated debate is underway over the need for strict environmental standards and regulations to prevent pollution, waste, and habitat destruction. The government and industry leaders are facing calls to prioritize sustainability and responsibility in the sector, amid fears that unchecked oil activities could harm the environment and communities. The debate has put a spotlight on the need for effective regulations, enforcement, and corporate accountability to ensure that Uganda’s oil wealth benefits both the economy and the environment.”

Environment enthusiasts say companies operating in the sector must carry out environmental impact assessments and obtain necessary permits and implement measures to ensure strict compliance with environmental standards so that their operations do not harm the environment and public health.

According to the Petroleum Authority of Uganda (PAU), all companies which were awarded contracts in the sector undertook a rigorous risk assessment process and therefore they comply to environmental standards.

“All major oil and gas developments, including Tilenga, Kingfisher and the East African Crude Oil Pipeline and Refinery projects underwent preliminary environmental and social assessments that informed their conceptual designs,” PAU noted. “There’s no project in Oil and Gas that can kick-off without complying with the environmental standards,” said Uganda Chamber of Oil and Gas.

According to authorities, Uganda is moving a significant step towards sustainable and responsible oil and gas development and the country is expected to have its first oil in 2025, a transition that has sparked energy debate globally.

To spotlight the nexus between oil and gas sector development and global energy transition debate, the Uganda Chamber of Mines and Petroleum (UCMP), a non-profit company promoting Uganda’s mining and Petroleum industries is currently running a campaign dubbed “The 90 Days of Oil and Gas Media Campaign” aiming to bring together oil and gas sector players to spotlight together key projects and activities ahead of first oil in 2025, amidst global transition debate.

The 4th edition of the #90DaysofOilandGas Media Campaign is focusing on the theme: “Uganda’s Journey to First Oil in the Face of a Just Energy Transition” aims to spark discussions on the sector’s role in the global energy transition. The campaign will feature various stakeholders, including oil companies, development partners, international contractors, and academia, to share insights and expertise.

The campaign also seeks to promote a balanced approach to economic development and environmental sustainability. The 90 Days of Oil and Gas Media Campaign which commenced on June 4, 2024 will close on 30 August, 2024, it promises to be a pivotal moment in Uganda’s energy journey.
