石油设备网讯 据世界天然气网站6月21日消息 香港公用事业青山电力公司（CAPCO）和港灯集团与壳牌东方贸易公司签署协议，为香港离岸液化天然气终端提供长期LNG供应。
签署协议后，壳牌将从其全球液化天然气产品组合中向CAPCO和港灯集团供应液化天然气，CAPCO由中华电力公司和中国南方电网国际公司共同所有。
中华电力公司总经理 T K Chiang表示：“政府制定了新的排放和碳减排目标，其中包括在发电燃料组合中为天然气设定新的比例。这项燃料供应合同将使我们能够获得价格竞争力的天然气，并扩大天然气的来源，为香港提供可靠和稳定的燃料供应。”
港灯集团总经理Wan Chi-tin补充称，公司正采取措施增加天然气发电的使用量，从目前占总产量的30%以上增加到2023年的70%左右。
他说：“随着公司未来几年天然气需求的大幅增加，签署本协议将为香港电力提供另一种天然气来源，以确保稳定、安全和可靠的天然气供应。”
为支持政府在2020年前降低碳强度和提高发电用天然气比例的政策，中华电力和港灯集团于2016年首次启动了建造海上液化天然气终端的研究。该终端将加强多样化香港天然气供应来源，并确保更可靠的燃料供应，且提供具有竞争力的价格。

Hong Kong duo ink LNG supply deal with Shell
Hong Kong utilities, Castle Peak Power Company (CAPCO) and the Hongkong Electric (HK Electric) signed a deal with Shell Eastern Trading, for long-term LNG supply for the Hong Kong offshore LNG terminal.
After completion of the project, Shell will supply LNG to both CAPCO and HK Electric from its worldwide LNG portfolio, CLP power a company jointly owning CAPCO with China Southern Power Grid International.
CLP Power managing director T K Chiang said, “The Government has established new emissions and carbon reduction targets, among which include setting a new proportion for natural gas in the fuel mix for power generation. This fuel supply contract will enable us to access price-competitive natural gas and broaden our sources of natural gas, ensuring a reliable and stable fuel supply for Hong Kong.”
HK Electric managing director Wan Chi-tin added that the company is taking steps to increase the use of natural gas for power generation, from currently over 30 percent of total output to around 70 percent by 2023.
“With the substantial increase in gas demand by the company in the coming years, the signing of this agreement will provide HK Electric with another gas source to help secure stable, safe and reliable gas supply,” he said.
In support of the government’s policy to reduce carbon intensity and increase the proportion of natural gas used for power generation by 2020, CLP Power and HK Electric first launched a study into building an offshore LNG terminal in 2016. The terminal will enhance and diversify Hong Kong’s natural gas supply sources, and ensure a more reliable supply of fuel at competitive prices.
