据世界天然气网站5月7日消息 直布罗陀已正式启动了一个新的液化天然气再气化终端，该终端由壳牌和壳牌所有的挪威天然气公司建造完成。
壳牌周二表示，直布罗陀将使用一座新投产的80兆瓦燃气发电厂，从柴油发电厂转向清洁燃烧的天然气发电厂。
根据壳牌与直布罗陀政府于2016年签署的液化天然气供应协议，建设了该终端。挪威天然气公司负责该再气化终端的运营。
天然气发电在向低碳全球能源系统过渡过程中发挥着重要作用，它可以取代燃煤和燃油发电，有助于减少温室气体排放和空气污染。
壳牌希望在世界其他地区采用直布罗陀的方法，在那里通过类似的小型液化天然气项目获得更清洁、更可靠的能源。
液化天然气每月两次将在夜间用船运至该终端，尽量减少对邻近港口和机场的影响。
液化天然气将储存在五个双壁不锈钢罐中，每个罐可容纳1000立方米的液化天然气。第一批液化天然气货物于1月份抵达，用于电厂的调试。

Gibraltar opens LNG import facility
Gibraltar has officially opened a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification terminal that was recently completed by Shell and Gasnor, a Shell-owned unit.
As a result, Gibraltar is switching from diesel-fuelled power generation to cleaner-burning natural gas, using a newly commissioned 80-megawatt gas-fired power plant, Shell said Construction of the terminal followed an LNG supply agreement signed in 2016 between Shell and the government of Gibraltar. Gasnor operates the regasification terminal.
Natural gas-fired electricity generation has an important role to play in the transition to a lower-carbon global energy system. It can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution by displacing coal- and oil-fired generation.
Shell hopes to replicate the approach taken in Gibraltar in other parts of the world, where there is a need for cleaner, more reliable energy through similar small-scale LNG projects.
LNG will be delivered to the terminal by ship twice a month and at night, minimizing disruption to the neighboring port and airport.
It will be stored in five double-walled stainless-steel tanks, each able to hold 1,000 cubic meters of LNG. The first LNG cargo arrived in January to support testing and commissioning of the power plant.
