Background

Wenzhou LNG Terminal is a proposed LNG terminal in Zheijang, China.[7]

The proposed Wenzhou LNG Terminal was approved by China’s National Energy Administration in 2016, and is scheduled to go online in 2018. The project includes storage tanks and a pipeline link to the gas grid, with a receiving capacity of 3 mtpa.[8]

In August 2018 a joint venture between Zhejiang Group, Sinopec, and a local investor was created to build the terminal.[9]

In 2018, the project was reportedly under construction.[10] As of September 2021, construction was continuing, and no additional updates were found by June 2022.[11]

The project mainly includes one LNG jetty and four storage tanks with 200,000 cubic meters each. The operation date was set in 2023.[12]

In August 2023, the terminal received its first cargo and became operational.[13][14]
