The development of the global LNG market and the commoditisation of hitherto expensive floating storage technology (both FSUs and FSRUs) have provided an impetus for a modern twist on power projects, allowing power stations to accept gas from international LNG cargoes.
This workshop seeks to give insights and a better understanding of power generation from LNG and gas.
Singapore already operates an LNG receiving terminal to provide gas for local use, including power generation, as well as creating a regional LNG hub.
Other countries like Myanmar, Thailand and Bangladesh are exploring the option of LNG imports, in order to meet a growing demand for power generation, both in terms of:
new regasification terminals connected to the existing gas network to cover natural gas shortages (arising from limited local resources and increased demand); and
gas to power, where a regasification terminal is directly connected to an existing or new build power station.
