What is Dragon LNG?

Our Liquefied Natural Gas import terminal at Waterston, Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire, Wales is able to import, store and regasify Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) - a vital source of clean and reliable energy for the UK.

Our facility is the result of our international shareholders’ multi million pound investment in the UK’s energy infrastructure. Dragon LNG will play an intrinsic role in supporting the UK’s energy importing strategy, with a start up capacity of 6 billion cubic metres of gas per annum (bcma) to supply the UK’s National Transmission System (NTS) as and when required, to meet peak demand.

Liquefied natural gas is natural gas that has been cooled to form a liquid. This process reduces the volume of gas by 600:1 so that large quantities of natural gas (one of the cleanest of fossil fuels) can be transported over long distances by liquefied natural gas carriers.

These specially constructed, double hulled ships are specifically designed to handle the low temperatures of liquefied natural gas. The Liquefied Natural Gas will be pumped ashore into storage tanks and from there, as required, it will be regasified (by gently warming it from -160ºC, the liquid natural gas reverts to gas). The gas is then fed into the UK’s NTS to provide clean and reliable energy for millions of commercial and residential UK users, as required.
