LNG terminals in India :-
----------------------------------
India has shifting it's energy policy from coal and oil based to LNG based energy mix policy. Today, India is the 4th largest importer of LNG in world. This shift is due to:
1) less carbon emissions from LNG to meet Paris agreement commitment of 40% carbon reduction.
2) downstream industries such as refineries, petrochemical units, fertiliser plants, power plants, cement, glass,ceremics,etc.
3) city gas distribution by pipeline for domestic and commercial use.
4) employment generation by attracting investments in this sector.
5) shortage of domestic supplies and existing oil and gas sources on western off-source fields and
6) coal is only localised in eastern and central part of India. Even, coal is polluting Paris agreement commitment is restricting it usage along with huge transportation cost.
7) utilisation of existing Gas pipeline infrastructure.
India imports 45% of the total amount of natural gas it consumes. With the government's plan to raise the share of natural gas in the country's energy mix to 15% by 2030 from about 6.5% now, import of LNG is expected to rise. Natural gas consumption in the country rose 5% to 58 billion cubic meters in 2017-18. The government expects half of India to have access to piped gas for cooking and transport after the new city gas licensing round, which is currently underway.
Over the last three years, GAIL and Petronet reworked their contracts with suppliers from the Middle-East, Russia and Australia, bringing in more price and delivery flexibility to LNG import.
Solution lies in Importing LNG from countries like Qatar, Australia, Oman ,USA and Russia. Even Iran is also interested to export.
LNG Imports required transporting facilities such as LNG tankers, undersea pipeline or pipeline connecting storage terminal to markets. Regulatory policy by government.
---- Till now maximum import comes to India from Qatar, Australia, Oman, USA and Russia.
--- India's first LNG receiving and terminal public sector company is Petronet limited. Formed as a joint venture by the Government of India to import LNG and set up LNG terminals in the country, it involves India's leading oil and natural gas industry players. Our promoters are GAIL (India) Limited (GAIL), Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC), Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL). The authorized capital is Rs. 1,200 crore ($240 million).

The company selected Gaz de France as its strategic partner. The company has also signed an LNG sale and purchase agreements with Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company Ltd, Qatar for the supply of 8.5 MTPA LNG to India. It has 2 terminal at Dahej and Cochin under operational and at 3rd terminal under construction at Gangavaram, Andhra Pradesh.
--- There exist 4 existing operational terminals at 1) Dahej--Gujrat 2)Cochin--Kerala, 3) Hazira--Gujrat, 4)Dahbol near Ratnagiri --Maharashtra and government plans new 11LNG terminals. See the map and table below:

ReplyDeleteWhen you import to India you should know the shipping charges it would take because it needs to have a certain margin that will help you to sell it for a profit.
