LNG

The cooperation of French energy major Total with China in large-scale liquefied natural gas investments in Russia's Arctic region projects has extended to small-scale LNG with the completion of its first bunkering vessel at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding yard near Shanghai.

Clean Fuel Corp., the California-based company co-founded by US oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens who is one of the main advocates of LNG fuel for trucking, has put two Total executives on its board after the French energy major bought a stake in 2018 and has retained Pickens as an honorary director.
