Hiroshima Gas builds two LPG tanks for lean LNG

Hiroshima Gas has announced the start of construction for two liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanks at its liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Hatsukaichi beginning in December. These facilities aim to increase the company’s capacity to receive different types of LNG, including lean LNG. The commissioning of the tanks, each with a storage capacity of 990 metric tons, is scheduled for September 2026. This initiative is part of Hiroshima Gas’s strategy to diversify its LNG supply sources before the expiration of its current contracts around 2030.
