UNOC is participating in the 2nd Joint Annual Civil Society Organisation Conference. The annual event is organized by @MEMD_Uganda, @PAU_Uganda, various CSOs, UNOC and key Oil and Gas industry players.
The conference aims to allow for mutually beneficial dialogue among leaders in the energy sector and civil society organizations, build consensus on Uganda's Energy Transition Plan, and provide valuable insights into a Just Energy Transition.
Gilbert Kamuntu, UNOC's Chief Commercial Officer, participated in a panel session discussing the status of Uganda's oil and gas projects and where we stand in response to the energy transition.

Key in UNOC's ESG plans, according to Chief Commercial Officer, Gilbert Kamuntu (center group photo), is the Alliance for Climate Resilience launched last year.
He has showcased UNOC at the ongoing #OilandGasConvention2024 .
On DEI, Head Explorations and New Ventures @LyoidahKiconco, has pointed out that companies ought to embrace diversity to thrive. DEI, she says, is ensuring that "our differences are appreciated".

Mr. Ernest N.T. Rubondo ED @PAU_Uganda;
Like many aspects of Uganda’s oil and gas sector, the formation of industry related associations was internationally benchmarked to ensure an all inclusive development of the sector.
The key driver for the formation of @UgandaChamber in 2010 and the Association of Uganda Oil and Gas Service Providers (AUGOS) in 2011 was to strengthen the coordination of the private sector to actively contribute to the development of the oil and gas sector which was newly emerging, and to also take advantages of the opportunities which the sector was bringing to the country’s economy.
The continued organising and holding of this conference is indeed a key contribution to this coordination of the private sector and promotion of the opportunities.

#HappeningNow: Touring one of the #Kayonza mine sites' modernised pits where ore is mined (called a shaft). The shaft is 300ft deep with tunnels where the ore is found along gold veins. Ore is extracted using a pulley system, a shift from traditional methods.

To limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the operation of the pipeline, @EACOP_ is planning to implement several carbon footprint reduction (CFR) measures, including full electrification of pump stations in Uganda, where grid electricity is mainly generated from hydroelectric plants and a hybrid power generation solution in Tanzania.
