A next-generation LNG plant
The electrification of the plant’s processes has been pushed to the limit, and a 300 megawatt-peak (MWp) photovoltaic solar farm will supply the equivalent of the plant’s annual needs.
Marsa LNG will therefore be one of the world’s lowest carbon intensity plants, with less than 3 kg CO2e/boe. With the average carbon intensity of LNG plants worldwide currently standing at around 35 kg CO2e/boe**, this represents a reduction in emissions of over 90%.
The first marine LNG bunkering hub in the Middle East
Used as a marine fuel to replace fuel oil, LNG reduces emissions of sulphur oxides and fine particles (99%), nitrogen oxides (up to 85%) and greenhouse gases (up to 23%). LNG ships are bunkered at large-scale service stations known as bunkering hubs.
The Marsa LNG site will bring together the LNG liquefaction plant and a jetty to accommodate bunkering vessels and LNG carriers for exporting the remaining LNG.
A charter contract for a new LNG bunkering vessel, which could be deployed at Marsa LNG, was signed in 2024. This vessel will extend the Company’s global presence at the major marine fuel supply hubs, where it currently charters three bunkering vessels: the Gas Agility in the port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, the Gas Vitality in the port of Marseille-Fos in France, and the Brassavola in the port of Singapore.
