Regulatory News:
Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) has delivered its first
shipment of carbon neutral(1) liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the
Chinese National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC).
The loading operation was carried out at the Ichthys
liquefaction plant in Australia, and the shipment was delivered on
September 29 to the Dapeng terminal, China.
"We are proud to have completed this first shipment of carbon
neutral LNG with CNOOC, a long-standing partner of Total. This
first LNG shipment, whose carbon emissions have been offset
throughout the value chain, represents a new step as we seek to
support our customers towards carbon neutrality," explains Laurent
Vivier, President for Gas at Total. "The development of LNG is
essential to meet the growth in global demand for energy while
reducing the carbon intensity of the energy products consumed."
The carbon footprint of the LNG shipment was offset with VCS
(Verified Carbon Standards) emissions certificates financing two
projects:
-- Hebei Guyuan Wind Power Project, which aims to reduce emissions from
coal-based power generation in northern China.
-- Kariba REDD+ Forest Protection Project, which aims to protect Zimbabwe's
forests
