BOC to provide additional LNG for the Victorian market
The industrial gas company, BOC, has announced a major redevelopment of its Dandenong facility to provide additional LNG for the Victorian market.
The main beneficiaries will be the emerging fleet fuelling market. LNG is significantly cheaper than diesel for heavy haulage, however there has been limited supply available constraining its use.
The environment will also benefit, as LNG releases 20% less greenhouse gases compared with diesel powered trucks.
The redevelopment is part of BOC’s long term commitment to LNG for the domestic market.
For years BOC has been using a large portion of the LNG produced to liquefy its gaseous nitrogen which is sold into the industrial market. Now BOC is installing a new nitrogen liquefier and upgrading its LNG plant. This will enable BOC to release the LNG direct into the market and increase its supply of LNG from 50 tpd to 150 tpd.
