Description
The Tilbury LNG facility is powered by renewable hydroelectricity, creating safe, lower-carbon LNG since 1971. Originally, the facility’s purpose was to store LNG. It was then developed to produce LNG for transportation and export to China.
Phase 1 expansion, which included a 46,000 cubic meter storage tank and a liquefaction capacity of 0.25 mtpa, was commissioned in 2018.
