The Philippines has approved a plan to build a small-scale liquefied natural gas terminal , adding to six ongoing projects that are expected to boost domestic supply from imports as the Southeast Asian nation ’ s sole gas field dries up in three years . Samat LNG Corporation received a notice from the Department of Energy to proceed with the project in Bataan province north of Manila , the agency said in a statement . The proposed USD 67m receiving terminal and regasification facility has an annual capacity of 200,000 to 400,000 tons of LNG imports that can fuel small independent power producers , manufacturing companies , and transport fleets , it said . The project is targeted to start commercial operation by the first half of 2024 . The Philippines ’ natural gas consumption is expected to reach at least 24,263 megawatts by 2040 if the share of renewable energy in the power generation mix rises to 35 %, the energy department said , from below 30 % currently , anticipating the displacement of coal and oil-based fuels . Gas demand is forecast at 18,883 MW if the share from renewable energy rises further to 50 %. Currently , LNG fuels just 2,011 MW of power plants . FGen LNG Corp ., a unit of listed First Gen Corp ., is scheduled to commission its LNG terminal in March and start commercial operation in June . Linseed Field Corp . is also expected to complete its first integrated LNG import terminal in March and begin running commercially in April . Luzon Energy Terminal Inc ., Energy World Gas Operations Philippines Inc ., Shell Energy Philippines Inc ., and Vires Energy Corp . own the other ongoing projects .
