Natural gas transmission and distribution system comprised of
2,189 kilometers of terrestrial trunk
Separation Station; and a further switching station linked to the existing 26-inch pipeline at the Wuxi site. The project will boost the annual LNG handling capacity of the Taichung terminal to over 5.0 million tons and ensure a stable, dependable supply of natural gas during the winter’s often inclement monsoon period as well as-and partly because of-greater storage capacity in terms of the number of days’ supply of LNG on hand.
Further expansion of the Taichung LNG Terminal’s capacity is under way. Currently, Taiwan government policies for phasing out nuclear power plants and for reducing greenhouse gas emissions mandate a 50% share for natural gas in fueling Taiwan’s total electricity generation by 2025. To help reach this target, CPC will lease Wharves 11 and 12 and their associated facilities from the Port of Taichung to create the Taichung LNG Terminal’s second dedicated LNG-unloading wharf; and execution of its Phase III expansion module will add two 180 thousand-kiloliter above-ground storage tanks and their associated gasification plant. These projects are scheduled for completion in 2022 and 2026 respectively to improve the unloading energy and gas supply stability.
In order to comply with the “Capacity of Self- provided Storage Tanks for Natural Gas Production or Import Enterprises” revised on August 27, 2019, the requirements for increasing the number of storage tank capacity days and business inventory days year by year, CPC will get on with Taichung Receiving Terminal New Pier & Terminal Expansion exterior Taichung Harbor Investment Project (add four above-ground full- capacity LNG storage tanks of 180 thousand-kiloliter, gasification facilities and two LNG-unloading wharfs and other related facilities) after the completion of land reclamation of North Reclamation Area (III) and South Reclamation Area (IV)-2, and use the Nanti Rd.-crossing pipelines to connect to the existing plant area to support each other. It is expected that after the completion of the end of 2028, the overall equipment utilization rate can be reduced and the gas supply stability and safety can be improved.
CPC has constructed an extensive natural gas transmission and distribution system on Taiwan’s western side. It comprises approximately 2,1 thousand kms of terrestrial trunk pipeline, extending from Pingtung in the south to Keelung in the north; and which includes
