In Japan, Osaka Gas Trading and Export has entered into an agreement for the procurement of biomethane produced in the U.S. by Archaea Energy, a bp company. Under this agreement, OGTX will purchase approximately 26,000 Nm³ of biomethane derived from landfill gas, produced at Archaea Energy’s wholly owned facilities operating in the United States. The biomethane will be liquefied at the Freeport LNG terminal along the U.S. Gulf Coast and shipped to Osaka Gas’ LNG terminals in the Kansai region of Japan. The biomethane, together with its associated environmental attributes1, generated from this production will be supplied through pipeline network to our customers for use at its facilities in Kansai.
Through this initiative, Osaka Gas aims to establish a domestic and international supply chain that supports the introduction of carbon-neutral energy resources, such as biomethane and e-methane, to Japan.
