LNG

Zululand Energy Terminal (ZET) has launched an expression of interest process for engineering, procurement and construction contractors for its planned $1 billion LNG import terminal at Richards Bay in South Africa, according to the project’s website. The first phase will include about 3 mtpa of regasification capacity, with later expansion plans to add more storage and capacity. The project is being developed by Vopak Terminal Durban and Transnet Pipelines.

Argent LNG has reached an early milestone at its 25 mtpa export terminal at Port Forchon, Louisiana, with the submission of a Letter of Intent (LOI) and Preliminary Waterway Suitability Assessment (PWSA) to the U.S. Coast Guard.

Toho Gas is developing a Cryo-DAC prototype direct air capture plant, designed to absorb one tonne of CO2 a year by using ‘cold energy’ from LNG regas terminals. The protype at Nagoya University is due completed and operational later this year.
