Floating Storage and Regasification Units Help India Reduce Carbon Footprint

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Western Concession Private Limited (H-Energy) (Powai, Mumbai) recently commissioned the Jaigarh liquefied natural gas (LNG) floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU), located off the western coast of India.

The LNG import terminal has a regasification capacity of 4 million metric tons per annum and storage capacity of 145,000 cubic meters. The terminal is another step in achieving India's goal to raise the share of natural gas in the country's energy mix to 15% by 2030 from the current 6.3%, in order to reduce its carbon footprint.

Industrial Info is tracking three active FSRU projects in India, worth $1.29 billion. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Terminals Project Database can click here for detailed project reports.
