Liquefied Natural Gas Plants

The growth in the use of project finance for the construction of LNG plants is accelerating the development of the sector and reducing dependence on pipeline gas suppliers.

Project finance

From $50 million to $5Billion.
• Investments up to 90% of the project cost.
• Loan term from 10 to 20 years.

The production and export of liquefied natural gas around the world is breaking records, fueled by economic and geopolitical factors.

• Extraction of natural gas.
• Purification and liquefaction.
• Transportation.
• Regasification.

After extraction, natural gas is transported via pipelines to LNG plants, where it undergoes preliminary treatment.

This treatment removes all liquids and other components that may freeze (propane, butane, ethane, carbon dioxide and water). Then the gas is converted into a liquid state by deep cooling at atmospheric pressure, during which the volume is reduced by 600 times.

The resulting product is loaded onto LNG carriers, which are equipped with refrigeration and insulation systems to store and maintain the liquid state of the gas until it reaches the port of destination (LNG terminal).
