Background
Yung-An LNG Terminal is the first LNG import terminal in Taiwan. It locates in Yung-An Township, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, owned by CPC Corporation.[13] Phase 1 began construction in 1984 and operating in 1990 with 1.5 mtpa capacity.[14] [15] Phase 2 and 3 expanded the capacity to 7.5 mtpa in 2002.[16][17] Phase 4 expansion increased the capacity to 9 mtpa in 2005. [18]As of July 2018 the terminal's receiving capacity was reported to be 10.5 mtpa.[19]
Proposed expansion project
A 1.8-mtpa expansion project, which includes three new storage tanks, with 200,000 cubic meters each, and related re-gasification facilities, was estimated to be completed by the end of 2026 and become operational by 2027.[20] Construction began February 2021 according to GIIGNL.[20] However, as of February 2024, no further news on the construction progress. It's considered still not yet entering construction.
As of June 2025, there is no news about the expansion construction-start.
Yung-An LNG Terminal's receiving capacity reportedly increased to 13 mtpa.[21]
Taiwan Legislative Yuan (台灣立法院) member Chiu Chih-wei posted on social media Face Book in November 2024, saying Yung-An LNG expansion had made no progress since 2021 due to the high cost of underground storage tanks.[22]
