Project Profile
Location: Futtsu, Tokyo Bay, Japan
Capacity: 9 million tons/annum
As the world’s largest fuel supply terminal for power generation, Futtsu is a very big scale gasification terminal. The Futtsu LNG Terminal started operations in 1985. The LNG fuel for the Futtsu thermal power plant is supplied through an underwater pipeline from the nearby Futtsu LNG terminal which has the capacity to handle 9 million tonnes of LNG per annum.
The Futtsu terminal supplies natural gas fuel to the Futtsu power station (5,040 MW) and adjacent Tepco power stations, including the industries in the Tokyo Bay area. Its 10 LNG receiving tanks have a capacity of 1,200,000 kilolitres, with two berths for LNG carriers and 60 LNG pumps.
