The Taichung Phase III Extension is a critical expansion project for the Taichung LNG terminal in Taiwan, designed to meet the growing energy needs of the region. This project focuses on the installation of two large-scale 180,000 m³ LNG storage tanks and a 1,600 T/h regasification unit, significantly boosting the terminal’s capacity to process and store liquefied natural gas. This expansion plays a vital role in ensuring Taiwan’s energy security and enhancing the country’s ability to import and utilize LNG efficiently.
Since July 2020, Sofregaz has been an essential partner in the development of the Taichung LNG Terminal.
As a trusted leader in FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) services, Sofregaz has been responsible for:

  • Ongoing engineering reviews to ensure the project's technical accuracy,
  • Providing expert technical consultation to address challenges and optimize processes,
  • Offering continuous support throughout the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) stages to guarantee smooth project execution.

Sofregaz’s deep involvement ensures that each phase of the project meets the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

LNG Storage Expansion

The installation of two 180,000 m³ LNG storage tanks is a central element of the Phase III extension. These tanks are designed with state-of-the-art containment technology, ensuring safe and reliable storage of LNG. This increased capacity is crucial for accommodating larger LNG imports and ensuring a steady energy supply for Taiwan.

Regasification Facilities

The new 1,600 T/h regasification unit allows the terminal to efficiently convert liquefied natural gas into its gaseous form for distribution through Taiwan’s energy grid. This enhanced regasification capacity ensures that Taiwan can meet its growing energy demand while maintaining operational efficiency.

Safety and Environmental Considerations

Throughout the project, Sofregaz has prioritized safety and environmental sustainability. The new facilities are designed to meet stringent international standards for safety and emissions, ensuring that the terminal operates with minimal environmental impact. The regasification process is also optimized to reduce energy consumption and emissions.
