Sixty conventional LNG cargoes represent approximately 4 million tonnes of LNG, enough to meet the average electricity consumption of five million Japanese households for a year.
This commitment was announced after Qatargas’ CEO Khalid Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, returned from last week’s visit to Japan, where he led a Qatargas delegation to meet with senior officials from Japanese utility and gas companies.
Qatargas, the world’s largest LNG producer, has an excellent track record of delivering LNG both to Japan and globally through a secure and reliable means; thus demonstrating, the pioneering role of Qatar, as a flexible and reliable energy supplier.
The Company's official said that the additional LNG cargoes will be supplied to Japan over the next 12 months.
