Where is Puerto de la Luz LNG Terminal?

Puerto de la Luz LNG Terminal is an LNG import terminal in Canarias, Spain. It is made up of 1 tracked train or phase.

Is Puerto de la Luz LNG Terminal operating?

Puerto de la Luz LNG Terminal is proposed. Nothing here should be read as a forecast that it will be built.

How much LNG can Puerto de la Luz LNG Terminal handle?

Global Energy Monitor reports no capacity for Puerto de la Luz LNG Terminal, so none is shown. That is an absent figure, not a zero.

Who owns Puerto de la Luz LNG Terminal?

Puerto de la Luz LNG Terminal is owned by Totisa Holdings. Shares are as recorded in the current tracker release.

Which maritime chokepoints do cargoes from Puerto de la Luz LNG Terminal pass?

Supplied via

Chokepoints that cargoes arriving at this terminal typically cross, based on where its region is supplied from.

Atlantic-basin supply from the United States crosses no chokepoint, which is why the European exposure figure is lower than it looks.

Routing is an editorial model of typical laden voyages, held in a hand-maintained lane table. It is not vessel tracking, and it does not account for diversions, canal draught limits, ice class or seasonal closures.

Background on the technology and the terms used on this page.

FSRU versus onshore regasification
An FSRU is a ship that stores LNG and turns it back into gas while moored, doing the job of an onshore import terminal without the onshore construction.
What an import terminal actually does
An LNG import terminal receives cargo from a ship, stores it as a cryogenic liquid, pumps it to pipeline pressure and warms it back into gas for delivery into a grid.
Send-out, peak shaving and the grid connection
Send-out is the rate at which an import terminal delivers regasified LNG into a pipeline network, and it is the capacity figure that governs what the terminal can actually do.
Storage tanks, 9% nickel and high-manganese steel
An LNG storage tank holds liquid at close to atmospheric pressure in an inner shell of cryogenic alloy, surrounded by insulation and, in the full containment design, an outer concrete wall capable of containing the entire contents.
