LNG

The French government outlined its plans to take full control of the utility EDF whose assets include gas-fired power and nuclear plants as well as LNG volumes and trading, mostly now handled by JERA Co. Inc. of Japan under a joint venture.

Chart Industries, the US LNG equipment-maker, has delivered part of its order for the liquefaction process system to install at the Calcasieu Pass LNG export project at Cameron Parish in Louisiana being developed by Venture Global.

Venture Global, the US developer of three LNG export plants in Louisiana, said the European utility, Électricité de France SA (EDF), had signed a long-term supply contract.
