India and China will drive the LNG regasification capability additions in Asia between 2022 and 2026, as the 2 international locations step up imports of pure gasoline to cut back carbon emissions. Collectively, the 2 international locations will account for 55% of the area’s whole capability additions by 2026 by new construct and enlargement initiatives, says GlobalData, a number one information and analytics firm.
GlobalData’s report, ‘LNG Trade (Liquefaction and Regasification) Capability and CapEx Forecast by Area and Nations, All Energetic Vegetation, Deliberate and Introduced Initiatives, 2022 – 2026’, reveals that Asia is anticipated to witness the very best regasification capability additions of 19.6 trillion ft3 from new construct and enlargement initiatives throughout the outlook interval. Of this, 16.8 trillion ft3 capability is anticipated to come back from new construct initiatives and the remaining from the enlargement of the prevailing initiatives.
Himani Pant Pandey, Oil and Fuel Analyst at GlobalData, commented: “Among the many fossil fuels, pure gasoline emerged as the brilliant spot as it’s seen as a comparatively clear possibility and may act as a bridge gas to steer the power transition. Subsequently, international locations reminiscent of China and India are more and more importing LNG to fulfill their carbon-neutral objectives and scale back emissions.”
Tangshan II is the biggest upcoming regasification terminal in China. Anticipated to start operations in 2022 with an preliminary regasification capability of 341 billion ft3, the terminal is probably going improve its capability to 584 billion ft3 by 2026. Caofeidian Xintian LNG is the operator of the terminal.
In India, Jaigarh Port terminal is the biggest upcoming LNG regasification challenge with a capability addition of 390 billion ft3 by 2026. To be operated by H-Power, the terminal is anticipated to begin operations in 2025.
