Japan’s Astomos buys carbon-neutral LPG

  • Mercados: LPG
  • 11/06/21

Japanese LPG importer Astomos has signed a purchase agreement with Shell for carbon-neutral LPG for expected delivery in August, as a contribution to Japan's 2050 carbon neutrality goal.

Astomos will receive around 44,000-46,000t, or a full very large gas carrier, of carbon-neutral LPG in early or mid-August. Astomos and Shell signed the deal earlier this month. The carbon offsets are certified by an unspecified international organisation.

Japan's city gas suppliers are ahead of the LPG industry in handling carbon-neutral gas. Domestic upstream firm Inpex agreed to sell carbon-neutral city gas to gas supplier Nihonkai Gas Kizuna last month. Fellow city gas supplier Toyko Gas and 14 firms across different industries set up a carbon-neutral LNG buyers alliance in March.
