據天然氣資訊7月25日消息稱，Golar LNG公司和Stonepeak基礎設施公司的合資企業Golar電力公司很高興宣布，與挪威水力公司簽署諒解備忘錄，以在巴西北部開發首個液化天然氣終端，這是朝著全球最大的溫室氣體減排舉措邁出的重要一步。

該項目將使挪威水力公司位于巴西帕拉州巴爾卡雷納市的阿魯諾特煉油廠能夠獲得液化天然氣。阿魯諾特還將成為巴爾卡雷納FSRU的第一個運營客戶，Golar電力公司計劃在2022年上半年投入運營。因此，與挪威水力公司達成最終協議將是未來四到六個月內做出最終投資決定的重要一步。

液化天然氣終端的目標是向阿魯諾特和中心電力巴爾卡雷納605 MW火力發電廠供應天然氣，該發電廠是Golar電力公司的子公司，此前簽訂了一份為期25年的PPA合同。一旦該終端投入運營，Golar電力公司還希望在整個帕拉州和該地區運營一個綜合的液化天然氣分銷網絡。這個液化天然氣供應鏈將覆蓋比東歐更大的地區，由數千公里的河流和公路運輸系統組成，為眾多工業、商業和運輸客戶服務。

該項目將履行挪威水力公司在2017年對帕拉州政府承諾的承諾，為世界上最大的鋁廠之一尋求以天然氣為基礎的能源解決方案。該項目將能夠使用來自液化天然氣的更清潔的燃燒天然氣，從而大大減少每年的溫室氣體和顆粒物排放。

Golar Power to develop LNG terminal in Brazil

Golar Power Limited, a joint venture between Golar LNG Limited and Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners, is pleased to announce the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding with Norsk Hydro to develop the first LNG terminal in the North of Brazil, a major step towards one of the largest greenhouse gas reduction initiatives, globally.

The project will enable the supply of LNG to Norsk Hydro’s Alunorte refinery plant located close to the Vila do Conde Port in the Municipality of Barcarena, State of Pará, Brazil. Alunorte will also be the first operational customer for the Barcarena FSRU that Golar Power plans to bring into operation during the first half of 2022. Concluding final agreements with Norsk Hydro will therefore be an important step toward a final investment decision within the next four to six months.

The LNG terminal aims to supply gas to Alunorte and also to the Centrais Elétricas Barcarena 605 MW thermal power plant, which is a subsidiary of Golar Power, previously contracted under a 25-year PPA. Once the terminal becomes operational, Golar Power also expects to operate a comprehensive LNG distribution network across the state of Pará and the region. This LNG supply chain will cover an area larger than Eastern Europe and consist of thousands of kilometres of river and road transportation systems, serving numerous industrial, commercial, and transportation customers.

The project will fulfil Norsk Hydro’s 2017 commitment to the Pará state government to pursue a natural gas-based energy solution for one of the world’s largest aluminium plants. The project will enable the use of cleaner burning natural gas from LNG, and, consequently, reduce annual greenhouse gas and particulate emissions substantially.
