Résumé

QatarEnergy LNG’s Major Projects will expand the Company’s LNG production from 77 to 142 MTPA. QatarEnergy LNG has developed a structured and comprehensive approach to address environmental risks associated with modern large-scale LNG projects and has made significant investments in advanced environmental controls for its Major Projects, many of which set the benchmark for environmental performance in the LNG industry.
The environmental approval of oil & gas projects is a complex and evolving process, impacted by dynamic and evolving regulatory framework that balances economic growth, energy security and environmental sustainability. To future proof LNG expansion projects, comprehensive environmental studies were conducted for onshore, offshore and pipeline components of Major Projects expansion to implement world class environmental controls, technologies and mitigation processes. These key environmental improvements are included in the facility design:

• Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction
Some of largest Carbon Dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration systems in the LNG industrywith a capacity to inject 3.2 million tonnes per annum (MTA) for NFE and NFS Project.
• Enhanced waste heat recovery to maximize energy efficiency throughout designed facilities.
• Partial use of solar energy from Qatar’s new solar power plants.
• Emissions Monitoring and Mitigation.
• Significant emissions reduction from combustion sources through the utilization of Dry Low NOx and Ultra Low-NOx systems targeting an emissions limit of 9 ppmv, which is the most stringent in the LNG industry for turbines in compressor service.
• SO2 emission reduction resulting from a pacesetting 99.9% sulfur recovery design.
• Introduction of advanced Predictive Emission Monitoring Systems (PEMS) for major offshore sources.
• Water Management
   -Near Zero Liquid Discharge to sea using advanced wastewater treatment systems which recycle 75% of process wastewater for reuse as desalinated water.
   -Introduction of freshwater cooling towers to reduce seawater consumption for exchanger cooling.
• Biodiversity Conservation
    -A large-scale coral relocation program which has successfully relocated 5,500 corals to protected sites.
   -First of its kind land-based Coral Nursery which has become a National Coral Bank and has resulted in the out-plantation of 15,000 juvenile corals offshore locations across Qatar.

The paper discusses the structured approach taken by QatarEnergy LNG in comprehensively assessing environmental impacts across the project lifecycle and value-chain for its Major Projects and ensuring the implementation of world-class environmental controls across its expansion facilities, which set the pace for LNG developments worldwide. These achievements by QatarEnergy LNG have demonstrated the Company's commitment to environmental performance excellence and its continued role as a key player in the ongoing sustainable development of the State of Qatar.
