据能源新闻12月7日消息称,澳大利亚维瓦能源公司周一表示,已与两家财团签署初步协议,这两家财团表示有兴趣支持将其位于维多利亚州的吉朗炼油厂改造为液化天然气(LNG)再气化终端。
维瓦能源公司说,其中一个财团由苏伊士环能公司的当地子公司和日本三井公司组成,另一个财团由荷兰能源和大宗商品贸易商维托尔和能源存储提供商VTTI组成。
与财团签署的谅解备忘录标志着维瓦迈出了重要的一步,由于大流行影响了炼油业务的利润并导致炼油厂的关停,因此维瓦希望恢复其炼油业务。
液化天然气再气化终端的开发——将液化天然气重新转化为气体状态的过程,标志着向清洁能源发展的过渡,因为随着全球气候变化,要求减少排放水平的呼声越来越高。
维瓦还将与合作伙伴一起在吉朗基站开展其他清洁能源项目,包括太阳能、天然气发电、氢制造以及其他可再生能源和低碳能源项目。
谅解备忘录还为合作伙伴提供了通过工厂处理天然气的潜在需求。该公司在一份声明中表示,预计2022年中期将对该项目做出最终投资决定,2024年开始进行天然气供应。

Viva Energy signs up partners to develop LNG terminal at Geelong
Australia's Viva Energy said One of the consortiums is comprised of ENGIE SA's local unit and Japan's Mitsui & Co, while the other is made of Dutch energy and commodities trader Vitol and energy storage provider VTTI, Viva Energy said.
The memorandums of understanding with the consortiums signal an important step for Viva as it looks to get its refinery business back The development of the terminal for LNG regasification - a process to convert LNG back into its gaseous state - marks a transition to clean energy development as calls for reduction in emission levels rise in the wake of global climate change.
Viva will also work with its partners The memorandums of understanding also provide a potential demand from the partners for the gas processed through the facility. A final investment decision on the project can be expected by mid-2022, with gas supply in 2024, it said in a statement.
