UK's Dragon LNG on May 3 announced the awarding of a contract to Australian engineers Worley to conduct a feasibility study focused on integrating LNG regasification and CO2 liquefaction processes at its facilities.
This project aims to explore potential benefits including reduced energy consumption, carbon intensity, and the levelised cost of CO2 export, not only at the Dragon site but also for Haven industry companies.
Dragon LNG anticipates that successful implementation of this project would not only enhance its own operations but also foster wider collaboration with the RWE Pembroke Net Zero Centre. CO2 from the center would be transported to the Dragon facility for processing before being shipped via non-pipeline transport (NPT) to carbon sequestration sites.
“As a responsible energy provider, Dragon LNG is continuously seeking innovative ways to enhance our operations while minimizing our environmental footprint. This feasibility study represents a significant step towards achieving those objectives,” a spokesperson for Dragon LNG stated.
By exploring the integration of LNG regasification and CO2 liquefaction processes, Dragon LNG aims to pave the way for a cleaner, more efficient energy future, aligning with its ambition of achieving a net-zero terminal by 2029.
Located at Milford Haven, Wales, Dragon LNG's regasification terminal is one of three such facilities in the UK. It is equally owned by Shell and investment firm Ancala Partners.
