New Fortress Banda LNG Terminal is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal proposed in Mauritania. There have been no updates in over two years, and the project is presumed shelved as of August 2023.

Location

The terminal is proposed to be located offshore above the Banda Gas field, approximately 55 kilometers from Nouakchott, Mauritania.

Background

In December 2021, New Fortress Energy signed a memorandum of understanding with Mauritania's Ministry of Petroleum, Mines & Energy to a gas-to-power project based on the 1.2 trillion cubic feet Banda Gas field offshore Mauritania. The project would supply the existing 180-MW Nouakchott Nord power plant and a proposed 120-MW Banda Gas-to-Power Project. New Fortress would develop the resource using its "fast LNG" technology, consisting of modular mid-size liquefaction units on jack-up rigs or floating infrastructure. New Fortress indicated that it intends to use the Banda resource to supply local as well as international markets.

There have been no updates in over two years, and the project is presumed shelved as of August 2023.
