Background

Zhuhai LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Guangdong, China.[9][10]

Phase I of the Zhuhai LNG Terminal began construction in October 2010,[11] and was completed in 2013 with three 160,000 cubic meter tanks and a receiving capacity of 3.5 mpta.[9] [12]The terminal will supply natural gas to the cities of Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhuhai, Zhongshan and Jiangmen.[13] A 3.5-mtpa Phase Two of the project was proposed.[14] In May 2020, Phase Two began the invitation to tender for the social stability risk assessment service, signaling the start of the second phase of the LNG terminal project.[15]

Phase 2 received permit for construction in May 2021.[16] It began construction in June 2021, including five storage tanks with 270,000 cubic meters each. The capacity of phase 2 is 3.5 mtpa.[17] The operating date was set at the end of 2023. By February 2023,[16] the construction is ongoing.[17]

金湾绿能港(珠海LNG)二期项目于2021年6月开工建设,同时建设5座27万立方米液化天然气储罐及配套设施;2024年建成投产后,金湾绿能港(珠海LNG)二期项目将成为华南地区规模最大的天然气储运基地,年处理能力可达700万吨,折合气态天然气约100亿立方米。按照1户居民每月用气30立方米计算,100亿立方米天然气大约可供近3000万户居民使用1年。[17]

As of September 2023, the construction is still ongoing, and a new start year was reported as 2024.[18]

As of December 2023, 81.6% of the construction has been completed according to the local media.[19]
