Galileo produces first LNG for India’s GAIL
Global engineering and manufacturing company Galileo Technologies (Galileo) has marked a milestone in Asia’s energy development having produced the first batch of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for Indian natural gas company GAIL.
To produce the LNG, Galileo uses its compact and modular Cryobox units which are connected to state gas pipelines. According to the company, these units condense all the capabilities of a large-scale LNG plant into a transportable, low-weight module.
Carried out by GAIL, the operation will see LNG supplied to Indian industry and public transport in the country.
“We are proud to be pioneers in the first LNG production in India and appreciate GAIL’s trust in our technology,” said Emilio Weber, International Commercial Director of Galileo.
According to S&P Global seaborne data, India’s LNG imports rose to 2.02 million metric tonnes in April 2023 from 1.94mmt in March and from 1.7mmt in April 2022.
India’s natural gas consumption for 2023 was revised upwards in May by the International Energy Agency (IEA), when it predicted a 4% year-on-year increase due to a modest recovery in the power sector and continued growth in industrial activity and city gas sectors.
