BP delivers its first carbon offset LNG cargo in Asia-‎Pacific

BP has delivered its ‎first carbon offset LNG cargo in the Asia-Pacific to CPC Corporation, at the Yung An terminal in Taiwan.

It follows BP’s ‎first delivery globally to Sempra LNG at the Energia Costa Azul terminal in Mexico in ‎July 2021.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) emissions associated with the LNG cargo, ‎from wellhead to discharge terminal for the specific source and voyage, were ‎estimated using BP’s greenhouse gas (GHG) quantification methodology for LNG.

BP reports that global demand for LNG is growing rapidly as it plays a role on the road to net zero and says that it intends to continue supporting this ‎growth by diversifying the company’s offer, including by developing bundled carbon offset LNG ‎products to meet customers’ demand.
