China unveils world''s largest compressed air
China breaks ground on world''s largest compressed air energy storage facility The second phase of the Jintan project will feature two 350
GAS IN THE ENERGY TRANSITION: With the largest natural gas reserves in sub-Saharan Africa, Mozambique is also focused on utilising clean gas as a transitional fuel for its power generation sector. A giant 2-GW combined-cycle gas turbine power plant is being planned in Beluluane, near Maputo.
The plant will increase Mozambique's installed capacity by 50% and generate 8.6 TWh per year, enough to power more than 3 million homes. A GREEN REVOLUTION: The country is also actively developing other renewable energy segments, such as solar and wind, which together are expected to represent 20% of domestic energy production by 2040.
Among the different ES technologies, compressed air energy storage (CAES) can store tens to hundreds of MW of power capacity for long-term applications and utility-scale. The increasing need for large-scale ES has led to the rising interest and development of CAES projects.
Mozambique recently unveiled a game-changing energy transition strategy that is paving the way for heightened investment inflows and universal access to energy across the country.
Other initiatives are expected to arise to meet the government's goal of having at least 7.5 GW of PV capacity installed by 2030. Alongside wind and solar, Mozambique also has large biomass potential, with estimates pointing to the possible production of 2 GW.
