LNG

Technip Energies has launched SnapLNG 1.5, a standardized and fully modular 1.5 mtpa liquefaction train, developed with Honeywell Technologies and Siemens Energy. The electrified solution could cut project timelines by up to two years, the companies said.

Japan’s JERA has launched a vertically integrated unit – JERA Global Energy Solutions – to consolidate and optimise its LNG portfolio across upstream, LNG, lower-carbon fuels, and shipping. The new entity will work closely with JERA’s LNG trading platform JERA Global Market to coordinate physical supply with trading strategies.

China is preparing to take a symbolic step by launching LNG futures denominated in yuan, rather than US Dollars. Such a listing would give Chinese buyers a domestic pricing and hedging tool at a time when energy markets remain highly exposed to geopolitical risk.
