TRACK A - Trends, Projects and Strategies
Driven by the shift to tighter CO² emission, air quality policies and cleaner fuels for electricity generation, the global demand of natural gas will increase in the next years significantly. 2035 natural gas will be the most important fossil energy source. The demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) also will grow dramatically with expected growing rates of four to five percent a year from 2015 to 2030.This underlines the trend to transport gas to areas which intend to switch to the cleanest fossil fuel.. Experts see in Asia in 20xx a LNG demand of 55 bcf/d – (Billion Cubic Feet Per Day), a rise of 100% compared to 2017. Countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, being currently amongst the largest LNG exporters, are in future expected to be LNG net importer. As natural gas is only available in some areas of the world, it has to be transported to areas that have presently no access to gas. In order to save space the gas is liquefied and transported with special vessels to the consumers (power plant or industrial), where it has to be reconverted from liquid-back to gaseous state (Re-gasification). MAN LNG is an energy solution provider for power generation and LNG technology and offers LNG solutions for unloading, gas storage and the re-gasification out of one hand: containing discharge jetties, LNG receiving terminals, on- and offloading bay, local storage, re-gasification devices and gas based power plants. MAN Diesel & Turbo offers a highly efficient and modular gas power plant solution, including the LNG infrastructure that is scalable. Thanks of its long experience in engineering and production of engines based power plants, MAN can provide, as one of the few companies worldwide, complete EPC power solutions out of one hand. The presentation will describe realized LNG projects in different regions and different scopes.
