Recently, the cargo ship "PAPUA" from Papua New Guinea, loaded with 78,000 tons of liquefied natural gas, entered the Qingdao LNG receiving terminal.

LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is the abbreviation of Liquefied Natural Gas.

According to the reporter's understanding, Sinopec Qingdao LNG Terminal is located in Dongjiakou Port, West Coast New Area of ​​Qingdao.

"Qingdao LNG receiving station started construction in September 2010, and was put into operation in November 2014.

As the first LNG project of Sinopec, Qingdao LNG receiving terminal has realized independent design, independent procurement, independent construction and independent management.

Ding Yi told reporters that LNG not only has the advantages of cleanliness, safety, and high energy density, but also has the advantages of transportation economy and convenience.

With the experience of Qingdao LNG, Sinopec successively put into operation the Beihai LNG terminal in 2016 and the Tianjin LNG terminal in 2018.

"Although we are not the first to start, we have achieved leapfrog development in the localization of equipment.

Ding Yi believes that at present, the proportion of natural gas in energy consumption in my country is only about 8%, while the proportion of energy consumption in developed countries is about 20%.

Make every effort to ensure the supply of green gas sources

The LNG receiving station is like a human stomach, receiving, temporarily storing, and digesting.

Wu Bin, general manager of Qingdao Liquefaction Company, told reporters that the natural gas imported through LNG is mainly delivered to thousands of households in two ways.

Tank truck is ready to be filled with LNG

Data show that from 2015 to 2020, Qingdao's annual LNG transfer volume will increase from 1.

In addition, Sinopec has maintained a relatively high growth rate in the distribution of liquids transported by tank trucks.

"Qingdao LNG terminal has opened up Sinopec's sea import road and created a new phase in the development of Sinopec's LNG business.

"Every winter is the peak time for gas supply, and every winter is also our most nervous and busy time.

　　“At that time, the amount of liquid in the storage tanks was already low.

　　In order to ensure efficient operation, Sinopec has done a lot of work in all aspects.
Especially during the epidemic last year, in order to ensure the smooth progress of unloading and relieve the pressure of gas use in North China, the receiving station adopted strict epidemic prevention measures for incoming cargo ships.
Ship receiving engineer Lin Jianbin told reporters that Qingdao LNG epidemic prevention has achieved "zero contact" for receiving and unloading foreign ships, ensuring the personal safety of every station staff.

　　It is reported that from 2018 to 2020, the Qingdao LNG receiving terminal has also achieved a steadily increasing revenue and profit.

　　Today, the Qingdao LNG receiving terminal has become the first gas source for natural gas consumption in Shandong Province, and the natural gas transported from here supports 70% of the natural gas supply in Shandong Province.

Promote high-quality development to achieve a new leap

Shandong is my country’s largest energy consumption province.
After the “four revolutions, one cooperation” new energy security strategy was put forward, the growth of Shandong’s natural gas consumption has accelerated, especially during the peak period of gas consumption in winter, when new demand for “coal-to-gas” is concentrated.
Released, natural gas supply is facing huge challenges.
Since the beginning of this year, Sinopec's natural gas supply to Shandong has continued to grow steadily.

Qingdao LNG Terminal

　　So far, Qingdao LNG has received and unloaded 403 LNG ships in total, totaling 28.
67 million tons (38.
7 billion cubic meters).
It has supplied more than 3.
3 billion cubic meters of natural gas to North China, ensuring the supply of Shandong’s people’s livelihood and continuously delivering clean energy for economic development.
Practical actions help achieve the "dual carbon" goal.

　　In the station, Wu Bin pointed to the two storage tanks that are about to be topped and introduced to reporters, “The second phase of the Qingdao LNG receiving station will add two 160,000 cubic meters of LNG storage tanks and supporting facilities, and it is planned to be put into operation in July this year.
A dedicated LNG terminal berth with a capacity of 30,000 to 270,000 cubic meters will be added, a 270,000 cubic LNG storage tank will be added, and 10 LNG loading skids will be newly built.
By 2023, the Qingdao LNG receiving terminal will double its unloading capacity and increase natural gas.
The guaranteed supply scope achieves dual radiation in North China and East China.
The maximum annual transfer of LNG can reach 11-14 million tons, making it the largest LNG receiving station in China during the same period.
"

　　Wu Bin said that Qingdao LNG will continue to focus on the early establishment of a modern, standardized and international natural gas branch as a world-leading natural gas company and Sinopec's goal of building a "world leading clean energy chemical company" and an industrial pattern of "one base, two wings and three new" for more Homes and businesses continue to provide high-quality clean energy.

　　According to the reporter's understanding, China's natural gas consumption has exploded in recent years, and the import volume of liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been increasing year by year.
Accelerating the construction of LNG receiving stations has become an important measure to ensure China's energy security.
At present, there are more than 20 LNG receiving stations in operation in China.

　　Mu Haiyong, deputy chief political engineer and director of the Party and Mass Work Department of Sinopec Natural Gas Branch, said that by the end of 2025, Sinopec will strive to build 10 self-operated LNG projects (under construction and planning), with a total LNG receiving capacity of nearly 40 million tons per year.
, The annual operating natural gas volume will reach more than 100 billion cubic meters, the domestic market share will reach 21%, the annual profitability of the natural gas branch will reach 10 billion yuan, and the terminal operating scale will reach 20 billion cubic meters per year.
It will take five years to rebuild a natural gas branch.
The goal.

　　In addition, Sinopec will accelerate the construction of the pipeline network and vigorously build gas storage facilities.
At present, LNG receiving stations are connected to the trunk pipeline network, which has initially formed a national interconnection pattern, allowing Sinopec’s natural gas to reach thousands of households and help "Village to every village, counties to counties" and the construction of Beautiful China.
