据全球能源新闻网6月23日报道，英力士与森普拉基础设施公司（Sempra Infrastructure）签署了每年140万吨的协议，英力士凭此进入液化天然气市场。

英力士能源公司今天与森普拉基础设施公司签署了一份主管协议，未来20年，该公司将从北美每年购买140万吨液化天然气。

LNG将从拟议的亚瑟港LNG第一阶段项目或卡梅伦LNG第二阶段项目中以船上交货的方式交付。

该长期协议标志着英力士进入全球液化天然气市场。该公司是欧洲企业中的先行者，因为它确保了有竞争力的能源来源，以满足自己和客户在能源转型期间的需求。英力士计划与欧洲其他工业能源用户建立伙伴关系，帮助他们获得同样具有竞争力的能源。这是多年来第一个以这种方式运作的市场进入者。

英力士能源董事长吉尔法利表示，在能源行业发生重大变革之际，该协议代表着英力士能源之旅向前迈出的重要一步。我们进入全球液化天然气市场，为向市场提供廉价、清洁可靠的能源提供了新的机会。英力士能源的长期供应将有助于缓解欧洲的结构性能源问题。

亚瑟港液化天然气（Port Arthur LNG）开发项目是一个年产1350万吨的设施，位于得克萨斯州杰斐逊县的3000英亩土地上。此外，森普拉基础设施已与卡梅隆LNG合作伙伴签署了一份协议，以开发位于路易斯安那州Hackberry拟议的年产675万吨卡梅隆LNG第二阶段项目。

英力士致力于到2050年实现其所有业务的净零。该公司正致力于通过碳捕获和储存实现供应链脱碳，并为替代能源提供可选性，如其在氢气生产方面的领先地位，随着时间的推移，将不断开发这些能源。

英力士集团有限公司是一家英国跨国化工公司，总部注册在伦敦。截至2021年，它是世界第四大化工企业。

总部位于加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥的森普拉，是一家能源基础设施公司。

INEOS ENTERS LNG MARKET WITH A 1.4 MILLION TON AGREEMENT WITH SEMPRA

INEOS enters the Liquified Natural Gas LNG market with a 1.4 million ton per annum agreement with Sempra Infrastructure.

INEOS Energy has today signed a Heads-of-Agreement with Sempra Infrastructure for the potential supply of 1.4 million tonnes per annum of LNG from North America for 20 years.

LNG will be delivered free-on-board, from either the proposed Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project or the Cameron LNG Phase 2 projects.

The long-term agreement marks INEOS’ entry into the global Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) market. The company is a first mover among European corporates as it secures competitive sources of energy to meet its own needs and those of its customers throughout the energy transition. INEOS intends to build partnerships with other industrial users of energy in Europe to help them access the same competitive sources of energy. It is the first market entrant to operate in this way in many years.

Brian Gilvary, Chairman INEOS Energy said, “This agreement represents a major step forward in the INEOS Energy journey, at a time of significant transformation in the energy industry. Our entry into the global LNG market opens new opportunities to supply affordable, clean and reliable energy to the market. Long term supply from INEOS Energy will help alleviate the structural energy issues in Europe.”

The Port Arthur LNG development project is a 13.5 Mtpa, fully permitted facility on a 3,000 acre site in Jefferson County, Texas. In addition, Sempra Infrastructure has signed an HOA with the Cameron LNG partners for the development of the proposed 6.75-Mtpa Cameron LNG Phase 2 project in Hackberry, Louisiana.

INEOS is committed to achieving net zero by 2050 across its operations. The company is working to decarbonise the supply chain through carbon capture and storage and provide optionality for alternative sources of energy such as its leadership in the production of hydrogen, as we develop them over time.

Ineos Group Ltd is a British multinational chemicals company headquartered and registered in London. As of 2021 it is the fourth largest chemical company in the world.

Sempra, based in San Diego, California, is an energy infrastructure company focused on connecting millions through the power of people, ideas and innovation.
