據(jù)《能源年》10月1日報道，特立尼達和多巴哥國家天然氣公司（NGC）周二宣布，該公司已與IGP甲醇公司簽署了一份從IGP甲醇位于路易斯安那州的墨西哥灣沿岸甲醇廠購買藍色甲醇的買賣協(xié)議。

NGC的子公司NGC石化公司和墨西哥灣沿岸甲醇1號公司之間的該協(xié)議將允許NGC購買這種低碳商品，并在墨西哥灣沿岸甲醇工廠開始運營后進行交易。

位于新奧爾良以南25英里的墨西哥灣沿岸甲醇園區(qū)將建立4個甲醇裝置，每個裝置造價15億—16億美元。第一個裝置預計將于2026年投產(chǎn)。

NGC總裁Mark Loquan表示，NGC繼續(xù)通過此類伙伴關(guān)系證明其對清潔能源轉(zhuǎn)型的明確承諾。我們正在密切關(guān)注全球市場，看到藍色和綠色能源大宗商品交易領(lǐng)域的巨大潛在價值。

該協(xié)議是在雙方于2021年12月簽署的條款說明書之后達成的。

NGC signs sales agreement for blue methanol

National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago (NGC) has signed a sales and purchase agreement with IGP Methanol for blue methanol from the latter’s Gulf Coast methanol plant in Louisiana, Trinidad and Tobago’s state-owned gas company announced on Tuesday.

The agreement between subsidiaries NGC Petrochemicals and Gulf Coast Methanol 1 will allow NGC to purchase the low-carbon commodity and trade it once the Gulf Coast methanol plant begins operations.

The Gulf Coast methanol park situated 25 miles south of New Orleans will host four methanol units, each costing USD 1.5 billion-1.6 billion. The first unit is expected to come on line in 2026.

“NGC continues to prove its unequivocal commitment to the clean energy transition through partnerships such as these. We are following global markets closely and see the enormous potential value to be tapped in the area of blue and green energy commodity trading,” said President Mark Loquan of NGC.

The deal follows a term sheet signed by the two parties in December 2021.
