Osaka Gas, a world-leading utility giant headquartered in Japan has joined the SEA-LNG coalition – further boosting SEA-LNG’s global reach and expertise across the LNG value chain, reports SEA-LNG.
Share of renewables
Osaka Gas is also working to increase the share of renewables in its power generation portfolio. It is joining forces with other large international companies to sponsor the creation of a global coalition exclusively dedicated to electric natural gas (e-NG), also referred to as e-methane.
Mr Takenori Fujita, Executive Officer and senior General Manager of LNG Trading Dept., Energy Resources and International Business Unit at Osaka Gas, said: “We are delighted to join SEA-LNG and are committed to making substantial contributions to the decarbonisation of the shipping industry. As a responsible energy company dedicated to reducing emissions, we promote the conversion of fuels from coal and oil to natural gas through our gas supply business, which primarily operates in Japan.”
Diversified energy company
Established in 1897, Osaka Gas has grown into a diversified energy company, well-positioned across the entire natural gas value chain. Osaka Gas is a major natural gas and energy service provider serving 5.0 million gas delivery points in the Kansai Region, Japan’s second largest metropolitan area, with a 63,000 km pipeline network.
SEA-LNG recently developed a fact sheet which seeks to dispel the myths about liquefied e-methane and provide the shipping industry with the latest up-to-date information on the fuel and how its development is progressing.
