Technip Energies has been awarded a substantial(1) contract by TotalEnergies
and OQ for the Marsa LNG bunkering project located in Sohar, Oman.
The contract covers the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) of a natural gas
liquefaction train with an LNG production capacity of 1 Mtpa(2). The plant will use electric-driven
motors instead of conventional gas turbines and will be powered by renewable electricity from
a planned nearby solar farm which will cover 100% of the annual power consumption of the
LNG plant. This is positioning the site as one of the lowest greenhouse gas intensity LNG
plants ever built worldwide. The LNG produced will notably be used as a marine fuel to reduce
the shipping industry’s carbon footprint.
The Marsa LNG project is an integrated complex developed by TotalEnergies (80%) and OQ
(20%).
Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, commented, “The world’s net-zero trajectory will
require LNG as a critical source of energy, while addressing emissions abatement.
TotalEnergies and OQ’s progressive Marsa LNG project is an example of how we can
decarbonize the LNG value chain by powering its production with renewable energy and using
it as a marine fuel to reduce emissions linked to maritime transportation. By leveraging our
innovation and global leadership in LNG infrastructure design and delivery, we are proud to
support TotalEnergies and the Sultanate of Oman in providing reliable, affordable and
sustainable energy to the world.”
