South Hook is undertaking an ambitious project in Milford Haven, West Wales, that will upon completion be able to provide the UK with a significant proportion of its natural gas requirements.
The construction of the receiving terminal, allowing the import and regasification of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), is one of the largest hydrocarbon projects of its kind in Europe.
A state of the art fleet of double-hulled ships will bring the LNG from Qatar's immense gasfield, to the safe, deep anchorage provided in Milford Haven.
The regasification plant now being built is where the LNG will be converted from a liquid back to a gas which will then be delivered to the UK's homes and businesses via the national grid.
LNG imports will greatly increase the UK's security and diversity of gas supply while helping to ensure that natural gas remains a competitive source of energy. As the cleanest of the fossil fuels Liquefied Natural Gas has a bright future.
