Sakhalin Energy to ship carbon-neutral LNG cargo to Japan's Toho Gas
28/09/2021 07:04
MOSCOW, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Russia's Sakhalin Energy said on
Tuesday it will deliver a carbon-neutral cargo of liquefied
natural gas (LNG) to Japan's Toho Gas 9533.T in October.
The companies have also announced plans for a strategic
partnership in decarbonisation.
Carbon-neutral LNG typically involves companies supporting
nature-based projects that reduce emissions to offset those
generated from the exploration and production of natural gas.
The Pacific island of Sakhalin wants to become carbon
neutral by 2025, Russia's first region to do so, and needs to
move quickly in adding renewable resources amid depleting fossil
fuels. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL5N2NK1KG

Aniva to Chita LNG terminal in Japan's Aichi prefecture.
