Background

Atlantic Gulf & Pacific Company (AG&P), part owned by Osaka Gas and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, announced that its Philippines subsidiary, Linseed Field Power Corp., received approval to develop a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import and regasification terminal in Batangas Bay, south of Manila. The Philippines’ energy department issued it a notice to proceed to develop the terminal, known as Philippines LNG, which will provide the fuel to a power plant, industrial and commercial customers, and other consumers.

Philippines LNG will have an initial capacity of up to 3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of regasified LNG, with additional capacity for liquid distribution. It will also have scalable onshore regasification capacity of 420 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) and almost 200,000 cubic metres (cbm) of storage. The company has completed its pre-development work for the terminal which is expected to be commissioned by mid-2022. The statement did not disclose financial details of the project.

Construction on the terminal began in 2021 using an offshore modular approach. In late December 2021, the application to continue development was approved by the Philippines department of energy, with operations expected to commence in June 2022.

As of May 2022, construction was nearing completion, and the developers were considering beginning operations in August 2022.

Environmental groups opposed the terminals and gas-fired power plants in the region. In 2022 the project received a cease-to-desist order. However, the project was commissioned the following year in April, 2023.
