Background

Himeji LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Kansai, Japan.

The Himeji LNG Terminal delivers approximately 2.4 million Nm3/year of natural gas, or about 30% of Osaka Gas’s total supply, with an import capacity of 5.5 mtpa. In 2004, the terminal began to also operate as an electric power generation facility through the use of LNG cold energy technology.
