Condor Receives a Second Feed Gas Allocation for Its LNG Projects in Kazakhstan
19 September 2024 - 10:00PM
Condor Energies Inc. (“Condor” or the “Company”) (TSX: CDR), a
Canadian based energy transition company is pleased to announce
that it has received its second natural gas allocation (“Gas
Allocation”) from the Kazakhstan State authority responsible for
gas distribution. The Gas Allocation will be used as feed gas for
the Company’s planned second modular Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”)
‘low carbon fuel’ production facility near the Kuryk Port on the
Caspian Sea.
The second Gas Allocation will supply the
Company’s planned Kuryk LNG facility which will produce the
energy-equivalent volume of 565,000 liters of diesel fuel per day
and is sufficient to power 155 mainline rail locomotives. When
combined with the previously disclosed first gas allocation for the
Alga LNG facility, the total LNG fuel produced will have an
energy-equivalent volume of over one million liters of diesel
daily, while also reducing CO2 emissions that is the equivalent of
removing more than 58,000 cars from the road annually.
The second Gas Allocation will be obtained from
the country’s existing pipeline near the Kuryk Port, where the
Company has already acquired 16 hectares of industrial land for
this LNG facility. The Company has also secured a 5 MWh electricity
allocation that will provide power from the nearby electrical
grid.
As Central Asia’s hub for transport and
logistics, Kazakhstan is rapidly expanding given it has the most
direct overland freight transit route linking China and
Europe. Kazakhstan’s transportation sector is expected to
drive near term economic growth and the country is investing
billions of US dollars to modernize and expand roads, railways,
ports, and airports. Condor’s Kuryk LNG facility will generate
domestically produced low carbon fuel for rail locomotives and
transport trucks operating between China and the Caspian Sea, and
marine vessels used to move freight across the Caspian Sea between
Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan.
Don Streu, President and CEO of Condor
commented: “We are very excited and appreciative to receive our
second Gas Allocation in Kazakhstan and would like to express our
deep gratitude to the various government authorities. This
allocation further enhances our first-mover strategy of providing
Kazakhstan with a long-term, sustainable domestic supply of LNG to
fuel the country’s vast and expanding transportation sector. Condor
has actively invested in Kazakhstan for more than 17 years and will
utilize its knowledge, experience and implement proven technologies
to build-up the country’s LNG customer base while also reducing
their emissions, operating costs and transportation times.
The second gas allocation is significant as it
enables Condor to generate additional LNG for the national railway
as well as Kazakhstan’s Caspian Sea marine fleet, which is also
rapidly expanding to meet the country’s transportation growth. We
are very proud to be materially contributing to the success of
Kazakhstan’s infrastructure expansion projects by introducing a low
carbon fuel solution.”
