据世界天然气网2月15日消息 厄瓜多尔政府授权美国项目开发公司Sycar为工业市场交易天然气、液化天然气和压缩天然气。
Sycar周一发表声明称，该决议由厄瓜多尔非可再生自然资源部于2021年2月12日发布。
这意味着Sycar液化天然气项目正按原计划进行。
厄瓜多尔的首个液化天然气项目将包括一个浮式储存和再气化装置（FSRU）。FSRU将向现有电厂供应再气化的液化天然气，并向液化天然气卡车加气站输送液化天然气。
该项目旨在将天然气引入厄瓜多尔能源矩阵，作为未来陆上液化天然气储存终端的第一阶段。
厄瓜多尔工业行业将液化天然气的未来供应视为降低制造和维护成本、降低碳排放、提高主要设备效率和寿命的机会。
该项目是为埃尔奥罗省的Bajo Alto开发，靠近现有的Thermo Gas Machala发电厂。
厄瓜多尔政府此前批准了FSRU运营和液化天然气进口。
Sycar最初还计划在2021年初完成该项目的财务关闭，并在2022年开始生产。
项目建成后，初期再气化能力为5000万标准立方英尺/天。

Sycar granted approval for LNG trade in Ecuador
The government of Ecuador authorized U.S. project development company Sycar to trade natural gas, liquified natural gas, and compressed natural gas for the industrial market.
The resolution was issued by the Ministry of non-renewable natural resources of Ecuador on 12 February 2021, the company said in a statement on Monday.
This means that the Sycar LNG project is on track with the original schedule.
Ecuador’s first liquefied natural gas project will include a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU). The FSRU will supply regasified LNG to an existing power plant as well as deliver volumes to an LNG truck filling station.
This project is intended to introduce natural gas to the Ecuadorian energy matrix as Phase 1 for a future onshore LNG storage terminal.
The future availability of LNG is seen as an opportunity by the industrial sector of Ecuador to reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs, drive down its carbon footprint, and improve the efficiency and lifespan of major equipment.
The project is being developed for Bajo Alto in El Oro Province near the existing Thermo Gas Machala power plant.
The Government of Ecuador previously approved FSRU operation and LNG import.
Sycar has also initially planned to reach financial closure on the project in early 2021, and kick-start production in 2022.
once set up, the project will have an initial regasification capacity of 50 million standard cubic feet per day.
