LNG

JERA Co. Inc., the largest Japanese importer of LNG, had to cope with an emergency on March 27 after sulfuric acid starting leaking from the pipes of a wastewater treatment facility at the Hirono Thermal Power Station in Fukushima Prefecture in the region where the nuclear disaster and tsunami occurred 12 years ago.

JERA Co. Inc, the main Japanese LNG importer, has decided to issue its first energy transition bonds and spend part of the proceeds on decommissioning older thermal power stations.
