Italy-based Eni has agreed to deliver carbon neutral LNG cargo to Taiwanese state-owned energy company CPC.
As agreed, the firm will deliver the LNG at Taiwan’s Yung An receiving terminal after procuring it from the Bontang liquefaction terminal in Indonesia.
In a statement, Eni said: “The overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to the entire value chain of the LNG cargo, including gas production, transmission, liquefaction, shipping, regasification, distribution and end-use, will be offset through the retirement of high-quality nature-based credits.”
The cargo to be delivered will be certified carbon neutral according to the internationally recognised ‘PAS 2060’ standard, the statement added.
Eni described the deal as a ‘milestone transaction’ as it seeks to advance with its decarbonisation strategy.
