据世界石油1月19日消息称，加纳国有石油公司正在推进在整个西非销售液化天然气的计划。今年，液化天然气将开始运往一个进口终端。
加纳国家石油公司天然气经理 Hamis Ussif 在首都阿克拉接受采访时表示，Tema 液化天然气终端公司预计将在第二季度开始商业运营，有助于为该地区创建一个能源中心。GNPC将从Tema购买液化天然气，然后出售。
一些西非国家正在使用天然气，作为为当地更多居民提供电力的努力的一部分。尽管化石燃料的使用被指责加剧了气候变化，但当地生产者辩称，非洲大陆的温室气体排放量只占全球的3%。
Ussif表示，GNPC正与有意建设基础设施的合作伙伴合作，以向国内用户和希望提高电力的次区域用户出售液化天然气。“可行的选择包括管道、驳船和卡车，以降低运输到邻国的成本。”
Ussif说，邻近国家贝宁已经要求增加天然气供应。

Ghana plans to become West Africa’s gas hub with import terminal
Ghana’s state-owned oil company is progressing with plans to sell liquefied natural gas throughout West Africa after shipments of the fuel begin to flow to an import terminal this year.
Tema LNG Terminal Co. is expected to start commercial operations at the plant in the second quarter and can help create an energy hub for the region, Hamis Ussif, manager for gas at Ghana National Petroleum Corp. said in an interview in the capital, Accra. GNPC will buy the LNG from Tema and sell it onward.
Some West African nations are embracing the use of natural gas as part of an effort to bring electricity to more people who live there. While the use of fossil fuels is criticized for contributing to climate change, local producers have argued that the continent only accounts for 3% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
GNPC is working with partners interested in building infrastructure to sell LNG to domestic users and those within the sub-region looking to boost power, Ussif said. “The options available include a mix of pipelines, barges and trucks where feasible to reduce the cost of transporting to our neighbors.”
There’s already been a request from Benin, a nearby nation, to increase gas supply, Ussif said.
