Abstract

Abstract: As the issue of climate change is always attracting widespread attention and China had fulfilled its commitment on emission reduction, the proportion of traditional energy consumption such as coal in China's energy consumption structure will gradually decrease in the future, and the use of clean energy such as LNG will become the latest trend to replace the use of traditional resources, and the future increment of LNG would be mainly borne by sea transportation. Dalian City has a single source of natural gas by sea, which is highly dependent on offshore imports. In addition, it is predicted that the LNG throughput of Dalian Port will reach 8-12 billion m 3 by 2050, so it urgently needs to build new LNG terminals to ensure the safety of natural gas supply. This paper statistically analyzed not only the operation status and construction progress of LNG terminals in northern China, but also the characteristics of natural gas consumption in the three North-Eastern Provinces of China and Dalian City. Based on the above situation, the principle and preliminary scheme of LNG terminal site selection were proposed.
