Background

Chita Midorihama LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Chūbu, Japan.[2]

Chita Midorihama LNG Terminal imports LNG from five countries; Malaysia, Australia, Indonesia, Qatar and Russia. The LNG supplies gas for the city grid as well as a local power station (Chubu Electric's Kawagoe Thermal Power Plant).[3] There is also a 220,000 m3 storage facility that was added to the terminal in 2016.[2]

This terminal is now part of the broader Chita LNG Terminal complex that also includes Chita LNG Terminal and Chita Kyodo LNG Terminal.[4]
