Qatargas will supply an additional 4m tonnes of liquefied natural gas to Japan, which was hit by an earthquake and tsunami last month, Seatrade-asia reports. The Qatari LNG will be dispatched to long-term customers in Japan in more than 60 “conventional cargoes” over the next 12 months.?
Qatargas is already contracted to supply 6m tonnes per year over a 25-year period. ?Qatargas said the additional supply of 4mn tonnes would be enough to generate approximately 28 terrawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, or meet the average electricity consumption of 5m Japanese households for a year.?
Qatargas CEO Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa al-Thani said he had visited Japan recently.
