LNG

China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) has urged state LNG buyers – CNOOC, CNPC, Sinopec and PetroChina – to stop LNG resales through the remainder of 2026 and into early 2027, as Beijing seeks to strengthen domestic gas availability during the winter heating season.

Japan’s resale of US LNG to other countries in Asia – notably South Korea, China and India – has generated emissions equivalent to roughly 17 coal plants a single year, Zero Carbon Analytics’ (ZCA) latest report finds.
