Résumé

QatarEnergy LNG produces 77 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and approximately 15 MTPA of sales gas. In addition, two condensate refineries process liquid hydrocarbons from LNG production to generate approximately 306,000 barrels per stream day of refined products. Associated facilities include two helium refineries, the world’s largest sulfur granulation facility and storage and loading facilities for LNG and liquid hydrocarbon products in Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar. QatarEnergy LNG is currently undergoing a massive expansion ramping up LNG production to 142 MTPA and scaling up supporting infrastructure.
Environmental protection and sustainability are a critical global imperative, reshaping industries worldwide, with LNG playing a pivotal role in the energy transition to lower carbon fuels. As the world’s Premier LNG Company, QatarEnergy LNG has embedded environmental sustainability into
the Company’s Direction Statement. In addition to world-class environmental mitigation in its upcoming expansion projects, QatarEnergy LNG has also invested significantly in multidimensional environmental protection at its current operational assets. The Company’s Environmental Strategy and Implementation Roadmap launched in 2022 set a framework for enhancing and achieving QELNG’s corporate environmental goals in line with the Qatar National Vision (QNV 2030).
QatarEnergy LNG’s key environmental achievements include reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by four MTPA since 2013 equating to a GHG intensity reduction of 12%; reducing flaring volumes by 70%, equivalent to an annual average flared gas savings of 40,000 million standard
cubic feet (MMSCF); reducing Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions intensity by 85% through emission control upgrades of turbines, boilers and heaters; enhancing wastewater reuse and waste recycling, and pioneering biodiversity conservation in the State of Qatar.
GHG reduction has primarily been achieved through major flare reduction and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) injection projects. These include the $1 billion Jetty Boil-Off Gas (JBOG) Recovery facility to minimize LNG loading (jetty) flaring, and a CO2 injection facility with a design capacity of 2.2 MTPA,
representing one of the largest facilities in the region. Projects are in place to further reduce approximately 5 MTPA GHG emissions at the Company’s current operations through additional CO2 injection and energy efficiency initiatives. Adding value to the above, is a robust and externally verified environmental reporting portfolio covering value-chain aspects including per LNG cargo GHG reporting. QatarEnergy LNG is also implementing a comprehensive roadmap to achieve the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 Gold Standard by leveraging emissions testing,
optical gas imaging, satellite and drone technologies at its facilities.
Multiple wastewater reuse and recycle facilities are in place for advanced treatment of ~2.5 million m3 of wastewater annually of which >80% is recycled and reused within existing operations as desalinated water and for irrigation, with the aspiration to achieve near zero liquid discharge to sea.
Waste recycling is another critical area of achievement through the application of circular economy principles with a long-term aim to achieve more than 70% recycling. QatarEnergy LNG has been undertaking coral management and biodiversity-related projects since 2007 and has made
significant contributions in this field.
The proposed paper addresses the above while showcasing QatarEnergy LNG’s multi-dimensional and sustained approach towards achieving premier environmental performance and reducing environmental impact in the LNG value chain.
