BP to deliver first carbon-offset LNG cargo to Sempra receiving terminal in Mexico

摘要

BP was nearing delivery of what was described as its first carbonoffset LNG cargo to Sempra’s Energia Costa Azul receiving terminal on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, the companies said July 15. The cargo, shipped under an agreement reached between the companies, was expected to arrive July 16, they said in a joint statement. Sempra is building an LNG export facility at the site of the existing regasification terminal. The delivery is part of a flurry of initiatives energy companies have launched over the last year to quantify or reduce their carbon emissions amid the global transition to greater use of cleaner-burning fuels. While most of the companies will continue to engage in fossil fuel production for decades to come, they hope to preserve existing business relationships and build new ones with climate-conscious customers.
