The Green Energy Port, China's largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) reserve base, was completed on Sunday in Yancheng City of east China's Jiangsu Province.
Independently designed and constructed by China, the mega project was constructed by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). It is crucial to improving energy security in the Yangtze River Delta region in east China so as to support the country's overall green development, Li Feng, deputy general manager of CNOOC Gas Power, told China Media Group.

Boasting six 270,000-cubic-meter LNG storage tanks, and four 220,000-cubic-meter storage tanks, the mega project has a total storage capacity of 2.5 million cubic meters.
It is designed to handle 6 million tonnes of LNG per year, equivalent to 8.5 billion cubic meters of traditional forms of natural gas.

"As a key project in the country's natural gas production, supply, storage and sales system, the Green Energy Port connects major natural gas transportation networks, including those of natural gas transportation from western to eastern regions and the China-Russia eastern natural gas pipeline," Li said.
"Meanwhile, it also supplies natural gas through tank trucks to provinces such as Jiangsu, Henan, Anhui and Shandong, maintaining energy security in the Yangtze River Delta region," Li added.
