Golar电力将在巴西开发液化天然气终端

据天然气资讯7月25日消息称，Golar LNG公司和Stonepeak基础设施公司的合资企业Golar电力公司很高兴宣布，与挪威水力公司签署谅解备忘录，以在巴西北部开发首个液化天然气终端，这是朝着全球最大的温室气体减排举措迈出的重要一步。

该项目将使挪威水力公司位于巴西帕拉州巴尔卡雷纳市的阿鲁诺特炼油厂能够获得液化天然气。阿鲁诺特还将成为巴尔卡雷纳FSRU的第一个运营客户，Golar电力公司计划在2022年上半年投入运营。因此，与挪威水力公司达成最终协议将是未来四到六个月内做出最终投资决定的重要一步。

液化天然气终端的目标是向阿鲁诺特和中心电力巴尔卡雷纳605 MW火力发电厂供应天然气，该发电厂是Golar电力公司的子公司，此前签订了一份为期25年的PPA合同。一旦该终端投入运营，Golar电力公司还希望在整个帕拉州和该地区运营一个综合的液化天然气分销网络。这个液化天然气供应链将覆盖比东欧更大的地区，由数千公里的河流和公路运输系统组成，为众多工业、商业和运输客户服务。

该项目将履行挪威水力公司在2017年对帕拉州政府承诺的承诺，为世界上最大的铝厂之一寻求以天然气为基础的能源解决方案。该项目将能够使用来自液化天然气的更清洁的燃烧天然气，从而大大减少每年的温室气体和颗粒物排放。

Golar Power to develop LNG terminal in Brazil

Golar Power Limited, a joint venture between Golar LNG Limited and Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners, is pleased to announce the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding with Norsk Hydro to develop the first LNG terminal in the North of Brazil, a major step towards one of the largest greenhouse gas reduction initiatives, globally.

The project will enable the supply of LNG to Norsk Hydro’s Alunorte refinery plant located close to the Vila do Conde Port in the Municipality of Barcarena, State of Pará, Brazil. Alunorte will also be the first operational customer for the Barcarena FSRU that Golar Power plans to bring into operation during the first half of 2022. Concluding final agreements with Norsk Hydro will therefore be an important step toward a final investment decision within the next four to six months.

The LNG terminal aims to supply gas to Alunorte and also to the Centrais Elétricas Barcarena 605 MW thermal power plant, which is a subsidiary of Golar Power, previously contracted under a 25-year PPA. Once the terminal becomes operational, Golar Power also expects to operate a comprehensive LNG distribution network across the state of Pará and the region. This LNG supply chain will cover an area larger than Eastern Europe and consist of thousands of kilometres of river and road transportation systems, serving numerous industrial, commercial, and transportation customers.

The project will fulfil Norsk Hydro’s 2017 commitment to the Pará state government to pursue a natural gas-based energy solution for one of the world’s largest aluminium plants. The project will enable the use of cleaner burning natural gas from LNG, and, consequently, reduce annual greenhouse gas and particulate emissions substantially.
