Petronas delivers its 1st carbon-neutral LNG cargo
Malaysia’s Petronas has delivered its maiden carbon-neutral LNG cargo to Japanese utility Shikoku Electric, it said on August 18.
Petronas has offset the estimated life cycle carbon footprint of the LNG cargo through renewables-based carbon credits for the emissions generated from upstream gas exploration and production, transportation, liquefaction, and shipping of the cargo.

The cargo was delivered from the Petronas LNG Complex in Bintulu and was received on August 17 at the Sakaide LNG terminal in Shikoku Island.
