Over the last decade, as the UK’s domestic sources of natural gas has Fuel Gas continued to decline, liquefied natural gas (LNG) has become an increasingly important source of reliable energy. Natural gas burns more Stage 1: we receive and Stage 2: the LNG is stored Stage 3: when required, the Stage 4: the gas finally enters cleanly and efficiently than other fossil fuels with carbon emissions unload the LNG from in tanks until it is required LNG goes through a process the National Transmission significantly lower than coal. purpose built LNG ships known as regasification - the System, reaching homes, LNG passes through a tepid industry and businesses Liquefied natural gas or LNG, is natural gas, mainly methane (CH4), that water bath where it is across the UK has been condensed into a liquid by cooling it to approximately minus warmed to a point when it 160° C. Liquefied natural gas takes up about 1/600th the volume of natural reverts to its gaseous state gas in its gaseous state. Once liquefied, the LNG can then be transported and stored as a liquid in an unpressurised environment. At South Hook LNG, our key function is the safe and reliable regasification of LNG. LNG is shipped to our Terminal where it is received, stored and, when needed, the LNG is converted back to its gaseous state through a process known as regasification. As one of Europe’s largest regasification terminals, we are capable of handling around a fifth of the UK’s current natural gas needs. Playing a vital role in the country’s energy infrastructure, the Terminal represents a long-term commitment by our Shareholders, to the security of UK energy supplies.

  • For Global LNG in Europe: Understanding the Complexity of Access Rules for EU Import Terminals

ISBN 978-1-78467-155-6 DOI: https://doi.org/10.26889/9781784671556 i Preface The importance and relevance of LNG for European gas balances has increased substantially in the late 2010s after several years of relatively low import levels and under-utilised regasification capacity. For some this was simply a question of the most efficient means to acquire competitive gas supplies through existing infrastructure, while others built new regasification terminals for supply diversification and security. In 2019, European LNG imports increased by more than 40% compared with the previous year and the main question for exporters had changed from whether the EU would be willing and able to compete with (principally) Asian countries for global supply, to whether they would be able to find a home for their cargoes in an over-supplied market. As the EU is the only major gas market with third party access to LNG terminals, this means that exporters can always place a cargo for which no other market can be accessed unless the owner of the terminal or the buyer agrees.

    INTRODUCTION TO SOUTH HOOK COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP) PROJECT David P. O’Brien ExxonMobil Power and Gas Services Youssef Hegazy, PhD Qatar Petroleum International Didier Vergez TOTAL ABSTRACT South Hook LNG Terminal sponsors, Qatar Petroleum International, ExxonMobil and Total, are evaluating an innovative concept of building a combined heat and power plant (CHP) at the terminal. This integrated concept would improve heat efficiency resulting in a reduction of fuel use and regional CO2 emissions by greater than 20% as compared to vaporizing LNG and generating the power separately. Commissioned in March 2009, South Hook LNG Terminal at Milford Haven, Wales, enhances UK energy diversity and security with the ability to deliver 2.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas daily into the national grid. In the current LNG vaporization process, natural gas is consumed as fuel to gasify the liquid LNG. The combined heat and power project, which is currently being evaluated by the terminal sponsors, is aimed to replace vaporization fuel use with the residual heat of the power plant. The heat generated by the gas combustion in the power plant would be used three times to maximize efficiency: (1) direct combustion in a gas turbine to produce electricity, (2) exhaust from the gas turbine generates steam to drive a steam turbine for additional electricity, and finally, (3) residual low grade heat from the steam turbine is used to vaporize the LNG. The key project challenges are developing the integrated design and engineering the LNG combustion vaporizers to ensure effective use of the heat.

    Extracts of Annual Reports (LNG) 2002-2006 Our Annual Reports provide not only a review of the financial position of the Authority in the shape of our audited accounts, but also explain the makeup and governance of the organisation, our strategic aims and objectives, a review of our business activity, and an identification of significant areas of development and issues that impact upon the port. Since 2002, when we received the first intimations of the LNG prospects, our subsequent Annual Reports have described and provided a summary of the work that we have been doing in planning for LNG shipping. As such, relevant articles extracted from these Annual Reports give a broad indication of the way in which the Authority has planned for LNG, working with others along the way, and also the various issues that have attended the developments as they have progressed and now are coming to fruition. The full Annual Reports for the past few years are contained elsewhere on the website, what is outlined in this section are extracts of relevance to the LNG developments and the detail of the planning for handling LNG shipping. Annual Report 2002- Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Documents Milford Haven has had a long and successful relationship with the oil industry. Indeed its advent was the reason for establishing the Port Authority over 40 years ago to support and regulate the shipping movements required.
