据天然气工业12月11日消息称，道达尔、森普拉液化天然气公司（Sempra LNG）和 IEnova 已签署具有约束力的协议，最终敲定道达尔对位于墨西哥下加利福尼亚的Energia Costa Azul液化天然气出口项目(ECA LNG)的股权投资。
道达尔目前持有该项目16.6%的股权，去年11月，该公司就开发、建造和运营单条液化生产线做出了最终投资决定，该设施的铭牌产能为325万吨/年的液化天然气，预计2024年启动。去年4月，道达尔还签订了一份为期20年、每年170万吨液化天然气的销售协议。
道达尔天然气、可再生能源和电力总裁菲利普·索奎特表示：“通过参与ECA液化天然气项目，我们很高兴能进一步加强与森普拉能源的合作关系，这得益于待重新开发项目与现有设施的协同效应，以及邻近亚洲市场的优势。这项投资符合我们的战略，即在整个天然气价值链中增加我们的液化天然气整合投资组合，这是满足全球能源需求不断增长的同时降低销售给客户的产品碳强度的关键。”
ECA LNG项目由森普拉液化天然气公司（41.7%）、IEnova、森普拉能源公司在墨西哥的子公司（41.7%）和道达尔（16.6%）共同拥有。

Total closes its participation in ECA LNG
Total, Sempra LNG, and IEnova have signed binding agreements finalising Total’s equity investment in the Energia Costa Azul LNG export project (ECA LNG), located in Baja California, Mexico.
Total now holds a 16.6% equity share of the project, for which the Final Investment Decision (FID) was taken last November for the development, construction, and operation of a single-train liquefaction facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 million tpy of LNG and an expected start in 2024. Last April, Total also closed a 20-year offtake agreement for 1.7 million tpy of LNG.
“We are very pleased to further strengthen our partnership with Sempra En-ergy through our participation in the ECA LNG project, that benefits from brownfield synergies with existing facilities and from the proximity to Asian markets,” said Philippe Sauquet, President Gas, Renewables & Power at Total. “This investment is in line with our strategy to grow our LNG integrat-ed portfolio across the entire gas value chain, which is a key to meet a growing global demand for energy while decreasing the carbon intensity of the products sold to our customers.”
ECA LNG is owned by Sempra LNG (41.7%), IEnova, Sempra Energy's subsidiary in Mexico (41.7%), and Total (16.6%).
