Total supplies solar energy to Singapore LNG terminal

    According to World Natural Gas News on April 29: Total said that the company has begun to provide Photovoltaic Solar Energy solar energy to the Singapore LNG terminal operated by the Singapore Liquefied Natural Gas Corporation (SLNG).

    Total said that the 600-kilowatt photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the terminal building is expected to generate 800 MWh/year of electricity, which is equivalent to the electricity needs of about 200 households in Singapore. The system has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 300 tons per year.

    The project is operated by Total Solar Distributed Power Generation (DG), a subsidiary of Total. SLNG and Total Solar signed the agreement in September last year. The terminal on Jurong Island can import 6 million tons of LNG each year.
