据天然气工业8月21日消息称，马来西亚国家石油公司已完成向四国电力公司交付其首批碳中和液化天然气(LNG)货物。

马来西亚国家石油公司周三表示，货物已从马来西亚国家石油公司位于民都鲁的液化天然气综合设施（PLC）交付，并于昨日在日本四国岛的坂出液化天然气终端接收。

该公司补充称，通过可再生能源碳信用额，抵消了液化天然气货物的估计生命周期碳足迹，这些碳信用额用于上游天然气勘探和生产、运输、液化和货物运输产生的排放。

此外，马来西亚国家石油公司用于交付的碳信用额是通过严格的认证碳标准程序认证的，该程序是全球公认的，已被能源公司和生产商采用。

马来西亚国家石油公司总裁兼集团CEU Tengku Muhammad Taufik表示:“为了反映我们对能源转型的支持，并符合我们的宗旨，马来西亚国家石油公司将继续使我们的产品和产品多样化，同时将我们自己转变为一个更清洁、更可持续的能源供应商。

“我们很高兴与四国电力合作，在我们成立 47 周年之际交付了我们的第一批碳中性液化天然气货物。对于马来西亚国家石油公司来说，这是一个重要的里程碑，我们将以负责任的方式向前迈进，提供更清洁的能源解决方案，推动进展。”

在液化天然气行业，随着越来越多的液化天然气消费者寻求减少碳足迹的方法，碳中性液化天然气被视为刺激更多碳承诺的催化剂。作为一家综合性能源公司，公司积极寻求与买家和终端用户的合作，以实现其可持续发展目标。

四国电力总裁Keisuke Nagai补充道:“过去15年，我们与马来西亚国家石油公司有着良好的关系。我们很高兴我们已经开始了这一具有里程碑意义的旅程，因为液化天然气行业正在向更可持续的未来过渡。”

Petronas delivers its first carbon-neutral LNG cargo

Malaysia’s Petronas has completed the delivery of its maiden carbon-neutral liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo to Shikoku Electric.

Petronas said on Wednesday that the cargo was delivered from the Petronas LNG Complex (PLC) in Bintulu and was received yesterday at the Sakaide LNG terminal in Shikoku Island, Japan.

The company added that it 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.

Additionally, the carbon credits used by Petronas for the delivery were certified through a rigorous verification process under the verified carbon standard program, which is globally recognised and has been adopted by energy players and producers.

Petronas president and group CEU Tengku Muhammad Taufik said: “Reflecting our support of the energy transition and in line with our statement of purpose, Petronas will continue diversifying our products and offerings to the market, while transforming ourselves to be a cleaner and more sustainable energy provider.

“We are grateful to have collaborated with Shikoku Electric on the delivery of our very first carbon-neutral LNG cargo that coincides with the date of our 47th anniversary. For Petronas, this is a significant milestone as we forge ahead to deliver cleaner energy solutions that fuel progress in a responsible manner”.

In the LNG industry, carbon-neutral LNG is seen as a catalyst to spur greater carbon commitments, with a growing number of LNG consumers seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint. As an integrated energy player, the company actively seeks collaborations with buyers and end-users to achieve its sustainability goals.

President of Shikoku Electric Keisuke Nagai added: “We have had a good relationship with Petronas for the past 15 years. We are delighted that we have embarked on this journey which marks a significant milestone as the LNG industry is transitioning towards a more sustainable future”.
