Integrated Gas Project including onshore LNG regasification, storage terminal and high pressure gas transmission systems
The integrated Project proposed by Tamasa, a joint venture between Medea Dev. SA and CIH (Community Investment Holdings), is to realize a LNG regasification plant and the relevant transmission system that will enable:
- the set-up of an additional and significant alternative energy source in South Africa
- to create competition in the natural gas market and, therefore, creating economic and strategic benefits for the national industry
- to create jobs and secondary industries
- to create a national gas industry of the proper “economy of scale” allowing competitive supplies.
1° Phase
- Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
receiving and regasification Terminal at the Ngqura Port
– 1 storage tank of 165,000 liquid cubic meter
– up to 4 Billion cubic meter/year of total regasification capacity - Natural Gas Transmission System
