One of the core aims of the Delimara project is to reduce carbon emissions and to enable Malta to become oil-free from 2015. LNG is an ideal solution for Malta being a cleaner alternative to all other fossil fuels.
By using LNG, the same amount of power output can be reached with less fuel than a lower efficiency unit.
Powering both the D3 and D4 plants with natural gas, has reduced emissions by 50% and particulate matter by over 90% compared to the previous power generation energy mix. As a result of the project, Malta’s efficiency in electricity generation has improved by approximately 53%.
