Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Brighton Port, La Brea, Trinidad and Tobago
Capacity: 500,000 million tonnes of LNG per annum
Start-up year: -
Gasfin Development SA has signed an agreement with National Energy Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago Limited, the subsidiary of the National Gas Company, charged with the conceptualisation, promotion, development and facilitation of new energy-based downstream industries in Trinidad & Tobago, to facilitate the development of a mid-scale liquefaction plant capable of producing approximately 500,000 million tonnes of LNG per annum to supply markets in the Caribbean. The new LNG facility, earmarked for a site at Brighton Port, La Brea will, in conjunction with mid-scale LNG delivery infrastructure provided by Gasfin, facilitate long term supply of natural gas to Caribbean customers. The agreement marks the commencement of development activities. NEC and Gasfin will now proceed with confirming the project feasibility and key commercial agreements ahead of submitting a formal gas allocation request to the government of Trinidad & Tobago later in 2012. When in operation, this project will offer regional power generators a realistic alternative to expensive liquid fuels. Using gas, power generators may achieve significant economic and environmental benefits, reducing CO2 and NOx emissions by approximately 25% and 85% respectively and eliminating sulphur and particulates emissions.
