LNG

Aug 28 – Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) has started for Live Oak, the large-scale electric Natural Gas (e-NG) project in Norfolk, Nebraska. Initiated by TotalEnergies and TES in 2023, Live Oak has since brought Osaka Gas, Toho Gas and ITOCHU into the consortium, as Japanese buyers seek to source e-NG in addition to LNG to improve their overall environmental footprint.

Itochu, Osaka Gas and Toho Gas agreed to offtake e-LNG, or synthetic methane, from a plant developed by TotalEnergies and TES in Nebraska. The Japanese trio took a combined 33.3% stake in the Live Oak e-NG project and the related offtake will help the project reach FID in early 2027.
