China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC) said on Friday that China's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal, namely the Guangdong Dapeng LNG terminal, has reached a cumulative receiving volume of over 100 million tons since its operation in 2006, making it the first LNG receiving terminal with an unloading volume exceeding 100 million tons across the country. This milestone which can meet China's annual urban gas consumption is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 350 million tons, equivalent to planting more than 700 million trees.

The Guangdong Dapeng LNG terminal, known to be the largest in terms of receiving volume in China, services six cities, including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Huizhou, and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It caters to the gas needs of a population of 70 million within these regions, accounting for about one-third of Guangdong Province's natural gas consumption during the same period.

The Guangdong Dapeng LNG terminal is Hong Kong's primary gas source for urban use and a significant contributor to its power supply. The terminal delivers 40% of the city's natural gas consumption.

As a clean and efficient energy resource, LNG is garnering increasing attention and importance. In recent years, China's LNG industry has undergone rapid development and formed a comprehensive industrial chain that encompasses production, storage, and diverse applications, continuously expanding its presence to the end market.

LNG receiving terminals, as a critical link in the LNG industrial chain, have seen rapid development since the establishment of China's first LNG receiving terminal in 2006. To date, statistics reveal remarkable growth that China has built 27 LNG receiving terminals with an annual reception capacity exceeding 120 million tons, ranking among the top globally. Currently, over 30 LNG receiving terminals are under construction in China. Upon completion, they will contribute an annual capacity of over 210 million tons.

中国首座液化天然气接收站接卸量破亿吨

近日，中国海油发布消息称，中国首座液化天然气接收站——广东大鹏液化天然气接收站，自2006年投运以来累计接卸量突破1亿吨（1亿吨相当于中国一年的城市燃气消费量），可减排二氧化碳3.5亿吨，减排效果相当于植树7亿多棵。这也标志着广东大鹏液化天然气接收站成为中国首座接卸量超亿吨的液化天然气接收站。

据了解，广东大鹏液化天然气接收站是中国接卸量最大的液化天然气接收站，其供气范围覆盖广州、深圳、东莞、佛山、惠州和香港六座城市，可满足区域内7000万人口的用气需求，约占广东省同期天然气消费量的三分之一。

与此同时，广东大鹏液化天然气接收站还是香港城市燃气的唯一气源和港岛电力供应的重要气源，供港气量占香港同期天然气消费量的四成。

作为清洁、高效的能源资源，液化天然气正受到越来越多的关注和重视。近年来，中国液化天然气产业发展迅速，已经形成了生产、储运、综合应用等完整的产业链条，还在不断向终端市场延伸拓展。

据统计，液化天然气接收站作为液化天然气产业链中的重要环节，自2006年中国首座液化天然气接收站建成以来，经过近20年的快速发展，截至目前，已建成液化天然气接收站27座，年接收能力超过1.2亿吨，规模位居国际前列。目前，中国在建液化天然气接收站超过30座，建成后接收能力将超过2.1亿吨/年。
