西班牙毕尔巴鄂LNG终端吞吐量激增

据世界天然气3月6日消息，西班牙LNG终端运营商Bahíade Bizkaia Gas（BBG）报告称，其毕尔巴鄂港口再气化终端的装卸活动增加了95％。

由巴斯克能源管理局（EVE）和LNG生产商Enagás控股的BBG在一份声明中表示，毕尔巴鄂终端设施去年共接收了67艘船，卸载了约420万吨燃料，比2018年增加了95％。

根据BBG的数据，该数字占2019年毕尔巴鄂港总吞吐量的12％。

BBG表示，去年西班牙的天然气需求与2018年相比增长了14％，这一增长主要归因于发电用天然气的需求增长了80％。

BBG的LNG终端在2019年的总气化量为62,950 亿瓦时，相比之下，去年为31,540 亿瓦时。LNG主要来自特立尼达和多巴哥、俄罗斯及美国。

BBG设施的利用率一直是西班牙所有LNG工厂中最高的，在去年年底，这一比例达到了77.24％。 BBG补充称，全年也有几次达到最高生产技术水平。

Spain’s BBG reports throughput spike at Bilbao LNG terminal

Spanish LNG terminal operator Bahía de Bizkaia Gas (BBG) reported a 95 percent rise in unloading and loading activities at its regasification terminal in the port of Bilbao.

BBG, controlled by the Basque energy authority (EVE) and LNG player Enagás, said in a statement that the Bilbao facility received a total of 67 vessels and unloaded about 4.2 million tons of the fuel last year, 95 percent more than in 2018.

According to BBG, this figure represents 12 percent of the whole throughput during 2019 in the Port of Bilbao.

Last year, the demand for natural gas in Spain rose by 14 percent when compared to 2018 and this increase was mainly due to the demand for natural gas for electricity generation – which rose 80 percent, BBG said.

BBG’s LNG terminal regasified a total of 62,950 GWh in 2019, compared to 31,540 GWh in the previous year. LNG was sourced mainly from Trinidad and Tobago, Russia and USA.

The utilization level of BBG facilities had been the highest of all the LNG plants in Spain and it ended the previous year at 77.24 percent. There were also several times throughout the year in which the maximum technical level of production was achieved, BBG added.
