CHI,
Nigeria
• The South African gas to power market is unique thanks to the significant
base of industrial furnaces. Jenbacher gas engines have been successfully
installed at a number of ferro-metal and calcium carbide plants leading to
the country being a centre of significant knowledge in the installation and
maintenance of gas engines operating on furnace gas
South Africa
Mozambique
• Clarke Energy is the authorised distributor and service provider for GE’s
Jenbacher gas engine in Mozambique.
• Mozambique has some of the largest deposits of natural gas in Africa. The
country also has a significant demand for power. Natural gas as a source of
power is a logical solution. Jenbacher gas engines can be utilised both for
captive power plants for industry and independent power producer stations
• Clarke Energy currently serves Mozambique from its South African Hub
