Okra Energy announced installation of Peru’s first small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility, to support the increasing energy demands of the country without pipeline infrastructure.
As informed, Okra Energy -through its subsidiary Lantera Energy S.A.C.- aims to help the nation by bringing cleaner-burning energy, while significantly reducing operational costs to businesses, industrial manufacturers and power generators as well as to the marine, mining, rail, trucking, and tourism industries.
The proprietary modular solutions can be brought into production rapidly and scaled over time to meet dynamic supply needs, while reducing capital and operating expenses compared to legacy energy sources, such as compressed natural gas, diesel and heavy fuel oil.
Okra Energy CEO, Louis Ravenet, said: “Constructing this plant is a significant achievement for both the LNG industry and the greater South American economy. Peruvians will now enjoy the benefits of a virtual pipeline that provides clean-burning natural gas energy that was previously inaccessible.”
The contract is set for delivery in early 2018. Subsequent small scale LNG facilities are under negotiation.
