Shell works with Japanese LNG buyers on decarbonisation

Shell has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with its long-term LNG buyers Tokyo Gas and Osaka Gas on decarbonising value chains, the Anglo-Dutch major reported on June 6.

Under the agreement, the companies will consider a range of decarbonisation solutions including hydrogen, carbon capture utilisation and storage, biomethane and renewables-based synthetic gas, Shell said.

"We have been delivering LNG to Japan for over 50 years and are proud to be part of Japan’s energy journey over the years," Shell Energy's vice president, Steve Hill, said in a statement. "Customers are at the centre of our energy transition strategy, and we are delighted to be collaborating with Tokyo Gas and Osaka Gas on exploring the potential of developing a range of low-carbon energy products and solutions like hydrogen and renewables-based synthetic gas, among others, to meet their decarbonisation needs.”
