据世界天然气3月28日报道，美国能源投资商EIG和比利时天然气基础设施运营商Fluxys于3月28日宣布，他们将从西班牙Enagas和加拿大OMERS 基础设施公司手中收购智利最大的液化天然气再气化终端 80% 的股份。
自2009年投入运营以来，GNL Quintero终端能够进口高达每日1500万立方米的天然气，占智利整体再气化能力的四分之三。2021年，它进口的液化天然气和管道天然气占南美国家的67%。它还拥有33.4万立方米的存储容量，可以装载高达每日2,500立方米的液化天然气。
EIG表示，该终端在Quintero湾的战略位置使其能够接触到智利中部的多元化客户群，包括住宅、商业、工业、交通和发电领域。该投资者参与了智利可再生能源，在该国运营210兆瓦的光伏发电容量。它渴望成为智利三大绿色氢气生产商之一，并计划到2040年在那里安装200吉瓦的可再生能源。
EIG董事长兼首席执行官R. Blair Thomas在一份声明中表示：“我们很高兴能有机会投资Quintero公司，这家公司与我们对战略性、高质量基础设施的关注非常一致，这些设施对该地区至关重要，并能产生有吸引力的合同现金流。”
Fluxys希望将其液化天然气业务扩展到欧洲以外，它在欧洲已经拥有三个气化终端。在拉丁美洲，它已经是TBG公司的投资者，该公司运营着玻利维亚-巴西管道2,600公里长的巴西段。
Fluxys首席执行官Pascal De Buck表示：“我们在Quintero的合作伙伴关系使Fluxys更接近智利的氢气开发，并支持比利时的氢气进口。”
两家公司都没有透露他们为该终端的股份支付了多少费用。

EIG, FLUXYS BUY INTO CHILE'S LARGEST LNG import TERMINAL
US-based energy investor EIG and Belgian gas infrastructure operator Fluxys announced on March 28 they would acquire an 80% stake in Chile's largest LNG regasification terminal from Spain's Enagas and Canada's OMERS Infrastructure.
Operational since 2009, the GNL Quintero terminal is capable of importing up to 15mn m3/day of gas, accounting for three quarters of Chile's overall regasification capacity. In 2021, it accounted for 67% of the LNG and piped gas imported into the South American country. It also has 334,000 m3 of storage capacity and can load trucks with up to 2,500 m3/d of LNG.
The terminal's strategic location in Quintero Bay gives it access to a diverse base of customers in central Chile, including in the residential, commercial, industrial, transportation and power generation sectors, EIG said. The investor is involved in Chilean renewables, operating 210-MW of photovoltaic capacity in the country. It aspires to become one of Chile's three biggest green hydrogen producers, with plans to install 200 GW of renewable power there for the purpose by 2040.
"We are thrilled by the opportunity to invest in Quintero, a company that aligns perfectly with our focus on strategic, high-quality infrastructure that is critical to the region it serves and yields attractive, contracted cash flows," EIG's chairman and CEO R. Blair Thomas said in a statement.
Fluxys is looking to expand its LNG operations outside of Europe, where it already has interests in three gasification terminals. In Latin America, it is already an investor in the TBG company that operates the 2,600-km Brazilian section of the Bolivia-Brazil pipeline.
"Our partnership in Quintero brings Fluxys closer to hydrogen developments in Chile and supports the import of hydrogen in Belgium," Fluxys CEO Pascal De Buck commented.
Neither company said how much they were paying for the stake in the terminal.
