Yann Pierre Livulibut
Former Head of Gas Gabon Oil
Yann Yangari’s journey from an MSc in Oil and Gas Enterprise Management at the University of Aberdeen to a Postgraduate in Financial Strategy at the Said Business School, University of Oxford, showcases a strong foundation in both finance and hydrocarbons. His role as Head of the Gas Department at Gabon Oil Company (GOC) and subsequent spearheading of the gas strategy demonstrate strategic leadership and a commitment to decarbonizing oil production while maximizing flare gas value. His contributions to defining Gabon’s Gas Strategy for the Gabon government in 2021 and organizing the first summit on Oil, Gas, and Energy Transition in Gabon highlight his pivotal role in shaping the country’s energy landscape. Yann’s passion for a just energy transition in Africa is evident through his collaboration on flared gas valorization, gas-to-power initiatives, and climate finance in Gabon and Central Africa.
Conference Agenda Sessions
PANEL DISCUSSION
Gas-to-Power: Unlocking Africa’s Potential
Africa‘s proven reserves of natural gas offer a tremendous opportunity to generate baseload electricity that can be reliable, affordable and cleaner than other alternatives such as coal, diesel or heavy fuel oil. However, gas-to-power remains a North African story with significant undeveloped potential in sub-Saharan Africa. What are the risks associated with gas-to-power projects in Africa and how can stakeholders work together to unlock the potential of the sector to support Africa‘s energy transformation? This session explores the dynamics of gas-to-power in Africa from a both a switching and greenfield investment opportunity.
Key areas of discussion:
• The role of gas in Africa's energy mix: what is the potential of gas for baseload power generation and grid stability?
• Infrastructure development for gas-to-power projects: what strategies can we adopt to build pipelines and power plants across Africa?
• Financing gas projects in a carbon-constrained world: how can we addressing the challenges of attracting investment for gas projects in a climate-conscious era?
• Leveraging gas for renewable energy integration: Exploring how gas can support the integration of intermittent energies.
