ANPG Showcases Angola’s Energy Transition Roadmap at Global Bioenergy Forum

Angola’s National Oil, Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANPG) took its national biofuels strategy to one of the world’s premier bioenergy platforms in March, presenting the country’s energy transition roadmap before an international audience of industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers.

The agency participated in BioTECH Fair, held from 18 to 20 March 2026 in Porto Alegre, Brazil considered the leading bioenergy and biofuels congress in Latin America, bringing together key technologies across biomass, biogas, biodiesel, ethanol, and green hydrogen. 

ANPG’s presentation, delivered under the theme “From National Strategy to Implementation, A Path Toward Energy Transition and Economic Diversification,” outlined the steps Angola is taking to build a robust domestic biofuels sector. 

The agency’s delegation was led by Vita Mateso, Coordinator of the Energy Integration and Biofuels Unit at ANPG, who described the congress as a valuable contribution to the operationalisation of Angola’s future biofuels strategy, noting that the experience provided critical inputs for designing national policies aligned with global energy transition objectives and sustainability requirements. 

On the sidelines of the plenary sessions, the ANPG team held private meetings with the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, focused on exchanging expertise and gaining deeper insight into current trends shaping the global energy sector. 

Angola’s presence at BioTECH Fair signals a deliberate effort to position the country not only as a hydrocarbon producer but as an active participant in the broader energy transition, drawing on international knowledge to shape a biofuels framework capable of driving long-term economic diversification.
