???? 據世界天然氣網2月15日消息 厄瓜多爾政府授權美國項目開發公司Sycar為工業市場交易天然氣、液化天然氣和壓縮天然氣。
????Sycar周一發表聲明稱，該決議由厄瓜多爾非可再生自然資源部于2021年2月12日發布。
????這意味著Sycar液化天然氣項目正按原計劃進行。
????厄瓜多爾的首個液化天然氣項目將包括一個浮式儲存和再氣化裝置（FSRU）。FSRU將向現有電廠供應再氣化的液化天然氣，并向液化天然氣卡車加氣站輸送液化天然氣。
????該項目旨在將天然氣引入厄瓜多爾能源矩陣，作為未來陸上液化天然氣儲存終端的第一階段。
????厄瓜多爾工業行業將液化天然氣的未來供應視為降低制造和維護成本、降低碳排放、提高主要設備效率和壽命的機會。
????該項目是為埃爾奧羅省的Bajo Alto開發，靠近現有的Thermo Gas Machala發電廠。
????厄瓜多爾政府此前批準了FSRU運營和液化天然氣進口。
????Sycar最初還計劃在2021年初完成該項目的財務關閉，并在2022年開始生產。
????項目建成后，初期再氣化能力為5000萬標準立方英尺/天。

????Sycar granted approval for LNG trade in Ecuador
????The government of Ecuador authorized U.S. project development company Sycar to trade natural gas, liquified natural gas, and compressed natural gas for the industrial market.
????The resolution was issued by the Ministry of non-renewable natural resources of Ecuador on 12 February 2021, the company said in a statement on Monday.
????This means that the Sycar LNG project is on track with the original schedule.
????Ecuador’s first liquefied natural gas project will include a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU). The FSRU will supply regasified LNG to an existing power plant as well as deliver volumes to an LNG truck filling station.
????This project is intended to introduce natural gas to the Ecuadorian energy matrix as Phase 1 for a future onshore LNG storage terminal.
????The future availability of LNG is seen as an opportunity by the industrial sector of Ecuador to reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs, drive down its carbon footprint, and improve the efficiency and lifespan of major equipment.
????The project is being developed for Bajo Alto in El Oro Province near the existing Thermo Gas Machala power plant.
????The Government of Ecuador previously approved FSRU operation and LNG import.
????Sycar has also initially planned to reach financial closure on the project in early 2021, and kick-start production in 2022.
????once set up, the project will have an initial regasification capacity of 50 million standard cubic feet per day.
