Abstract

Senegal has initiated the conversion of a power plant in Dakar from heavy fuel oil to liquefied natural gas (LNG), with the first phase involving the conversion of the plant's engines. This project, led by Finnish company Wärtsilä Oyj Abp, marks Senegal's first LNG plant conversion as it aims to reduce its reliance on imported LNG and transition to gas from the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim field. The country plans to develop over three gigawatts of gas-to-power capacity by 2050 to decrease its dependence on oil and coal for electricity generation. [Extracted from the article]
