China's largest liquefied natural gas reserve base was put into operation in Yancheng

After 16 days and 6,000 nautical miles, on September 26, the "Alkashamiya" liquefied natural gas carrier from Qatar arrived in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, and CNOOC Yancheng's "Green Energy Port" began to receive and unload the first ship of liquefied natural gas, marking the operation
of China's largest liquefied natural gas reserve base.

Under the tug of five tugboats, the super-large liquefied natural gas transport ship "Alkashamia" with a capacity of 210,000 cubic meters slowly approached the dock, and the five unloading arms up to 36 meters high were adjusted and accurately docked, and the liquefied natural gas on board was transported to the No.
3 storage tank of the "Green Energy Port" for storage
.
The storage tank is the first 220,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas storage tank officially put into operation in China
.
After gasification, 210,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas reached 130 million cubic meters, which can be used by 6.
5 million households for one month
.

Located in Binhai Port Industrial Park, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, CNOOC Yancheng "Green Energy Port" is a key planning project for the construction and interconnection of national natural gas production, supply, storage and marketing system, and the first phase of the project is to build 10 large-scale liquefied natural gas storage tanks, including 4 storage tanks of 220,000 cubic meters and 6 storage tanks of 270,000 cubic meters, with a total tank capacity of 2.
5 million cubic meters, which is the largest liquefied natural gas reserve base in China
.
According to the calculation of annual treatment capacity of 6 million tons, the annual emission of carbon dioxide can be reduced by 37.
64 million tons, and the emission of nitrogen oxides can be reduced by 668,000 tons, which is equivalent to the afforestation of 80 million trees
.

The commissioning of the project is of great significance to the diversification of natural gas supply channels in East China and the peak regulation and supply of natural gas reserves, which will greatly enhance the supply guarantee capacity of clean energy in East China and help the high-quality development of the
Yangtze River Economic Belt.

With the rapid growth of natural gas consumption in China, the rapid development of the liquefied natural gas industry, and the acceleration
of infrastructure construction such as receiving stations.
In 2006, CNOOC Guangdong Dapeng Receiving Station was put into operation, and China's liquefied natural gas industry achieved a breakthrough
of 0.
By the end of 2021, China has built 22 coastal liquefied natural gas receiving stations, with a total receiving capacity of 92.
27 million tons / year
.
Among them, 16 new receiving stations have been built in the past ten years, with a new receiving capacity of 59.
17 million tons per year, a compound growth rate of 10.
8%, and the construction scale ranks first in the
world.

It is understood that the "Alcashamia" arriving at the port this time has set a record for the largest historical record
of inbound ships in Yancheng Port.
