據全球能源新聞網6月23日報道，英力士與森普拉基礎設施公司（Sempra Infrastructure）簽署了每年140萬噸的協議，英力士憑此進入液化天然氣市場。

英力士能源公司今天與森普拉基礎設施公司簽署了一份主管協議，未來20年，該公司將從北美每年購買140萬噸液化天然氣。

LNG將從擬議的亞瑟港LNG第一階段項目或卡梅倫LNG第二階段項目中以船上交貨的方式交付。

該長期協議標志著英力士進入全球液化天然氣市場。該公司是歐洲企業中的先行者，因為它確保了有競爭力的能源來源，以滿足自己和客戶在能源轉型期間的需求。英力士計劃與歐洲其他工業能源用戶建立伙伴關系，幫助他們獲得同樣具有競爭力的能源。這是多年來第一個以這種方式運作的市場進入者。

英力士能源董事長吉爾法利表示，在能源行業發生重大變革之際，該協議代表著英力士能源之旅向前邁出的重要一步。我們進入全球液化天然氣市場，為向市場提供廉價、清潔可靠的能源提供了新的機會。英力士能源的長期供應將有助于緩解歐洲的結構性能源問題。

亞瑟港液化天然氣（Port Arthur LNG）開發項目是一個年產1350萬噸的設施，位于得克薩斯州杰斐遜縣的3000英畝土地上。此外，森普拉基礎設施已與卡梅隆LNG合作伙伴簽署了一份協議，以開發位于路易斯安那州Hackberry擬議的年產675萬噸卡梅隆LNG第二階段項目。

英力士致力于到2050年實現其所有業務的凈零。該公司正致力于通過碳捕獲和儲存實現供應鏈脫碳，并為替代能源提供可選性，如其在氫氣生產方面的領先地位，隨著時間的推移，將不斷開發這些能源。

英力士集團有限公司是一家英國跨國化工公司，總部注冊在倫敦。截至2021年，它是世界第四大化工企業。

總部位于加利福尼亞州圣地亞哥的森普拉，是一家能源基礎設施公司。

INEOS ENTERS LNG MARKET WITH A 1.4 MILLION TON AGREEMENT WITH SEMPRA

INEOS enters the Liquified Natural Gas LNG market with a 1.4 million ton per annum agreement with Sempra Infrastructure.

INEOS Energy has today signed a Heads-of-Agreement with Sempra Infrastructure for the potential supply of 1.4 million tonnes per annum of LNG from North America for 20 years.

LNG will be delivered free-on-board, from either the proposed Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project or the Cameron LNG Phase 2 projects.

The long-term agreement marks INEOS’ entry into the global Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) market. The company is a first mover among European corporates as it secures competitive sources of energy to meet its own needs and those of its customers throughout the energy transition. INEOS intends to build partnerships with other industrial users of energy in Europe to help them access the same competitive sources of energy. It is the first market entrant to operate in this way in many years.

Brian Gilvary, Chairman INEOS Energy said, “This agreement represents a major step forward in the INEOS Energy journey, at a time of significant transformation in the energy industry. Our entry into the global LNG market opens new opportunities to supply affordable, clean and reliable energy to the market. Long term supply from INEOS Energy will help alleviate the structural energy issues in Europe.”

The Port Arthur LNG development project is a 13.5 Mtpa, fully permitted facility on a 3,000 acre site in Jefferson County, Texas. In addition, Sempra Infrastructure has signed an HOA with the Cameron LNG partners for the development of the proposed 6.75-Mtpa Cameron LNG Phase 2 project in Hackberry, Louisiana.

INEOS is committed to achieving net zero by 2050 across its operations. The company is working to decarbonise the supply chain through carbon capture and storage and provide optionality for alternative sources of energy such as its leadership in the production of hydrogen, as we develop them over time.

Ineos Group Ltd is a British multinational chemicals company headquartered and registered in London. As of 2021 it is the fourth largest chemical company in the world.

Sempra, based in San Diego, California, is an energy infrastructure company focused on connecting millions through the power of people, ideas and innovation.
