The small-scale LNG plant of Gazprom on Sakhalin will reach a capacity of 50,400 tons of liquefied gas per year (69.55 million cubic meters in regasified form), a representative of the Ministry of Energy of the Sakhalin Region told Vedomosti. According to him, the plant will be built in the urban district of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the village of Dalne. The main volume of LNG produced, the source says, will be used to supply gas to the Kuril Islands.
On September 8, the governor of Sakhalin, Valery Limarenko, announced the new project. He said that the region had signed an agreement with Gazprom on the construction of a small-tonnage LNG plant on Sakhalin and on the creation of systems for receiving, storing and regasifying LNG on the Kuril Islands. The details of the project were not disclosed. Limarenko named only approximate dates – the first LNG from the project should begin to flow in 2023, and the full gasification of the Kuriles will take place by the end of 2025.
