TOTAL Delivers Its First Carbon Neutral LNG Cargo

Published on : 2020-10-20

October 20, 2020 – Total has delivered its first shipment of carbon neutral liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the Chinese National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC).

The loading operation was carried out at the Ichthys liquefaction plant in Australia, and the shipment was delivered on September 29 to the Dapeng terminal, China.

The carbon footprint of the LNG shipment was offset with VCS (Verified Carbon Standards) emissions certificates financing two projects:

Hebei Guyuan Wind Power Project, which aims to reduce emissions from coal-based power generation in northern China.
Kariba REDD+ Forest Protection Project, which aims to protect Zimbabwe's forests.

The term “carbon neutral” indicates that Total and CNOOC have offset the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent associated with the whole carbon footprint of the LNG Cargo (including the production, liquefaction, shipping, regasification, and end-use) through VCS certified emission reduction projects.
