"COGEN" plantsthere's a really slick technology for turning natural gas into electricity (which is much easier to transport - for use in namibia, or for export to neighboring countries)
a cogen plant starts with a BIG turbine natgas fired engine, which produces mega horsepower, which is turned into megawatts.
...then, the exhaust from the turbine, which is just short of red hot, is used to boil water for a conventional steam turbine. more mega horsepower, yielding more megawatts.
cogens take a double dip from the energy in natgas. they are not really high tech - easy and quick to build. i'm a retired instrument tech, and i worked on the construction of one just before i retired. compared to a bigtime powerhouse, they're easy - peasy.
