Tlou Energy, the company developing projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, said the Lesedi gas-to-power project remained on track to get natural gas-fired power into the grid in Botswana from the southern African nation’s own coal-seam gas (CSG), a resource that is used by companies in Australia to produce and export LNG.

Gasconsult, the UK-based supplier of a proprietary and patented methane cycle liquefaction technology, has awarded a contract to US LNG and energy engineers CB&I for development of its ZR-LNG liquefaction process.

Sept 29 (LNGJ) - Tlou Energy Ltd, the company listed in the UK and Australia and focused on delivering power to Botswana and Southern Africa through the development of coal-seam gas projects, has received approval for its Lesedi Project following a public review. “It is good news for the company, for the Lesedi project and for the people of Botswana,” said Tlou Executive Director Gabaake Gabaake, whose company will fuel a 50 megawatts plant with CSG. “Environmentally there is a need in Botswana for the development of a relatively clean, low carbon energy source to replace the use of diesel in the production of electricity,” he added.

The development of coal-seam gas in the Australian state of Queensland to produce liquefied natural gas for export to Asia has inspired the Southern African state of Botswana to access its own CSG resources to build a small gas-fired power industry to meet domestic needs.
