據世界石油1月19日消息稱，加納國有石油公司正在推進在整個西非銷售液化天然氣的計劃。今年，液化天然氣將開始運往一個進口終端。

加納國家石油公司天然氣經理 Hamis Ussif 在首都阿克拉接受采訪時表示，Tema 液化天然氣終端公司預計將在第二季度開始商業運營，有助于為該地區創建一個能源中心。GNPC將從Tema購買液化天然氣，然后出售。

一些西非國家正在使用天然氣，作為為當地更多居民提供電力的努力的一部分。盡管化石燃料的使用被指責加劇了氣候變化，但當地生產者辯稱，非洲大陸的溫室氣體排放量只占全球的3%。

Ussif表示，GNPC正與有意建設基礎設施的合作伙伴合作，以向國內用戶和希望提高電力的次區域用戶出售液化天然氣?！翱尚械倪x擇包括管道、駁船和卡車，以降低運輸到鄰國的成本。”

Ussif說，鄰近國家貝寧已經要求增加天然氣供應。

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.
