Background

Taizhou Toumengang LNG Terminal (台州头门港LNG接收站) is a proposed LNG terminal in Taizhou, Zheijang, China.

In 2016, GCL Group reached investment intentions with Taizhou City government on developing Taizhou Linhai LNG Terminal and its supporting transmission pipeline. The plan apparently abandoned.[8]

In March 2019, Linhai City Government signed cooperation frame agreement with Zhongtie Gallon LNG Logistics Co., Ltd on developing Taizhou Linhai LNG Terminal. The total investment reached 17.5 billion yuan ($2.68 billion).[9]

However, in November 2020, Linhai Government invited 24 energy enterprises and financial institutions to review the feasibility of LNG terminal and other projects in Linhai. Zhongtie Gallon LNG Logistics Company didn't participate.[10]

The Toumengang LNG terminal was listed into "Taizhou Port Master Plan (2017-2030)" and Zhejiang's 14th Five-Year Development Plan on Coal, Oil and Gas[11][12]

By November 2022, the sponsor company of the project, Zhongtie Gallon (Linhai) LNG Co., Ltd (中铁加仑(临海)液化天然气有限公司), is still working on the paper work needed for the permit for construction.[11][13]

In 2023, Zhongtie Gallon Linhai LNG Co., Ltd. withdrew from the project and is no longer an investor. On December 2, 2024, a proposal reply from the Taizhou Bay Economic and Technological Development Zone Administrative Committee indicated that the project will continue to advance, with ongoing efforts to attract investment.[14]
