中國石化新聞網訊 據世界石油網站1月7日報導 加納將啟動撒哈拉沙漠以南非洲首個液化天然氣發電項目，並將自己定位為該地區清潔和廉價燃料的中心。
近年來，從亞洲到拉丁美洲，液化天然氣發電項目蓬勃發展，因為這些項目允許各國從化石燃料轉向清潔能源。而對於銷售商來說，液化天然氣發電一體化為燃料提供了一個有保障的出口。
Tema液化天然氣終端公司（Tema LNG Terminal Co.）項目經理Edmund Agyeman Duah表示，該公司周三從亞洲接收了浮式再氣化裝置，為本季度某個時候每年供應170萬噸天然氣發電鋪平了道路。
該公司在Helios投資夥伴和非洲基礎設施投資經理的支持下，大約兩年前開始建設這一價值3.5億美元的項目。
Agyeman-Duah 表示：「加納現在可以開始為該地區的其他地區提供燃料，這種燃料由於其成本和顯著的環境效益而不斷受到歡迎。」

Ghana to start sub-Sarahan Africa’s first LNG-to-power project
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 on. And for sellers, integrated LNG-to-power provides a guaranteed outlet for the fuel.
Tema LNG Terminal Co. received the floating regasification unit from Asia on Wednesday, paving the way for the supply of 1.7 million tons of natural gas per year for power generation sometime this quarter, Edmund Agyeman-Duah, project manager at the company, said.
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.
