据世界石油网站1月7日报道 加纳将启动撒哈拉沙漠以南非洲首个液化天然气发电项目，并将自己定位为该地区清洁和廉价燃料的中心。
近年来，从亚洲到拉丁美洲，液化天然气发电项目蓬勃发展，因为这些项目允许各国从化石燃料转向清洁能源。而对于销售商来说，液化天然气发电一体化为燃料提供了一个有保障的出口。
Tema液化天然气终端公司（Tema LNG Terminal Co.）项目经理Edmund Agyeman Duah表示，该公司周三从亚洲接收了浮式再气化装置，为本季度某个时候每年供应170万吨天然气发电铺平了道路。
该公司在Helios投资伙伴和非洲基础设施投资经理的支持下，大约两年前开始建设这一价值3.5亿美元的项目。
Agyeman-Duah 表示：“加纳现在可以开始为该地区的其他地区提供燃料，这种燃料由于其成本和显著的环境效益而不断受到欢迎。”

Ghana is set to open sub-Saharan Africa’s first liquefied natural gas-to-power project as it moves to position itself as a hub for the cleaner and cheaper fuel in the region.
LNG-to-power projects have been booming from Asia to Latin America in recent years as they allow nations to switch from dirtier fossil fuels to keep the lights Tema LNG Terminal Co. received the floating regasification unit from Asia The company, backed by Helios Investment Partners and Africa Infrastructure Investment Managers, began building the $350 million project about two years ago.
“Ghana can now start to service the rest of the region with fuel that is continuously growing in popularity because of the cost and the significant environmental benefits it provides,” Agyeman-Duah said.
