The new LNG bunkering project set to be established at the #PortofSohar will be fuelled entirely by solar energy in the first such renewables-powered venture of its kind in the Middle East. Marsa LNG - a partnership of French-based energy giant TotalEnergies (80%) and Almuzn LNG LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omani integrated energy group OQ (20%) - is developing the 1 million tonne capacity LNG project to serve primarily as a bunkering and export terminal. The solar project will help offset the LNG plant’s Scope 2 emissions – indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the procurement of electricity, as well as steam, heat or cooling for plant operations. It will allow for Marsa LNG to market its output as low-carbon (in comparison with the output from conventionally powered LNG plants) and qualify for carbon credits as well. French engineering contractor Technip Energies has been tipped to undertake the construction of the LNG bunkering project at an estimated cost of $1 billion. Not included in the scope of this project is the solar farm, which will be undertaken as a separate venture. #Oman #LNG #LNGbunkering #MarsaLNG #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy
