Gas-to-power SSA

active

The project aims to conduct pre-feasibility studies that will inform the conceptualization of mid-scale gas/LNG-to-power projects in two countries in Sub-Saharan Africa that need to replace coal and/or oil with natural gas as a part of their strategy to meet energy demand, local pollution control, and national climate change mitigation goals. The Team is investigating the feasibility of situating a Floating Storage Unit (FSU)-based Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) terminal in the harbor of Freetown, Sierra Leone. Freetown offers a great natural, protected harbor that would allow mooring of an FSU at low cost. In Senegal, the Team is assessing possibilities for converting existing HFO-fired power plants to gas; and conduct technical and institutional assessment of the gas pipeline network that will be needed to connect power plants to gas supply.
