台灣中油股份有限公司天然氣事業部台中液化天然氣廠

在配合政府「能源多元化」及「供應清潔能源」之政策目標下，本公司於79年3月31日正式?用永安液化天然氣廠，因應台灣北部市場天然氣需求成長及供應台電公司大潭電廠天然氣供應契約，本公司於93年7月在台中港興建第二座液化天然氣接收站並鋪設台中經通霄至大潭135公里36吋海底管線，站區工程歷經5 年於98年6月正式?用，與高雄永安廠形成互相備援供氣系統，增加本公司供氣調度的能力及彈性，以降低操作營運風險，達成充分穩定供氣的目標。

配合「穩健減核，打造綠能低碳環境」政策，本公司籌劃於觀塘工業區興建第三座LNG接收站，未來北、中、南三座接收站分區供氣，可降低輸氣成本及風險，藉由既有海陸輸氣管網可相互輸轉、備援，提升供氣安全及穩定性；該項投資計畫之推動，將有助於充分供應國內天然氣市場需求。
　　

為充分穩定供應國內天然氣需求，分散液化天然氣進口來源，本公司液化天然氣進口來源，遍及中東、東南亞、東北亞、澳洲、北美洲、非洲及歐洲等地，貨氣採購布局全球 。

CPC brought the Yung-An LNG receiving terminal on-stream on March 31, 1990 as part of its strategy for compliance with the government’s linked goals of energy diversification and adoption of clean energy. In response to the growing demand for natural gas in northern Taiwan from both industry and Taipower’s Datan power plant, CPC built the second LNG receiving terminal in Taichung Port in July 2004 and laid a 36-inch offshore pipeline of 135 km in length from there to Datan. After five years of construction, the terminal was finally officially opened in June 2009. It also serves as a reciprocal backup system with Kaohsiung Yung-An LNG receiving terminal, so as to enhance the capacity and flexibility of the supply and distribution operations. This will help reduce the operational risk and achieve our objective of supplying sufficient gas.

In the context of Taiwan’s new energy policy that calls for gradually phasing out nuclear power and building a low-carbon environment partly run on renewable energy. CPC is now planning construction of the third LNG receiving terminal, located in the Guantang Industrial Area in northern Taiwan. With its three LNG receiving terminals located in the north, center and south of the island, CPC stands to reap economies of scale that will lower both the costs and risks of importing natural gas in the future. The existing undersea and terrestrial pipeline system will enable mutual support by its components in transporting natural gas around Taiwan and raise the level of both operational safety and stability of supply. This investment plan will help to fully supply domestic natural gas market demand.

For reliably stable supply domestic of natural gas and to diversify LNG import sources, CPC has entailed signing multiple LNG import contracts for procurement around the globe-including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, Australia, North America, Africa and Europe as well as other areas.
