Tokyo Gas unit, others to build LNG terminal in Ehime, Japan
Reuters reported that Tokyo Gas Engineering Solutions, a unit of Tokyo Gas, Shikoku Electric Power Co, Sumitomo Chemical, Sumitomo Joint Electric Power Co and Shikoku Gas say they decided to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal inside Sumitomo Chemical's plant in Ehime prefecture on the island of Shikoku in western Japan.
The companies will build the terminal to supply gas to the chemical maker's Ehime plant and a new gas-fired power plant to be built by Sumitomo Joint Electric Power.
It said that the companies will set up a joint venture for construction and operation of the LNG terminal, with Tokyo Gas Engineering Solutions taking a 50.1 percent stake.
However, LNG terminal will include a 230,000 kilolitre LNG tank that will begin commercial operations in February 2022, with the 150-megawatt Niihama North gas-fired plant to begin operations from July that year.
