Securing LNG for growing global demand

The LNG business domain is the core business of the Energy Business Unit II. The energy industry is entering a new phase, where it must respond to climate change while meeting growing global energy demand. In the ongoing energy transition, it is believed that natural gas/LNG will play an important role as a pragmatic solution that contributes to the supply of cleaner, sustainable and affordable energy, and supports the global response to climate change.

Since participating in the Abu Dhabi LNG project in the 1970s, we have been widely involved in the entire LNG value chain, from LNG production and transportation to marketing and trading. We are participating in major LNG development projects across the globe, including UAE, Australia, Qatar, Oman, Russia, Indonesia, the U.S.A., and Mozambique.

We strive to ensure the stable long-term supply of LNG while also aiming to further strengthen our LNG business, leveraging our network and relationships with customers, gas-producing countries and project partners. We are focusing on enhancing our LNG demand/supply adjustment function in the global market, and LNG logistics utilizing our own LNG fleet.
