The carbon neutrality/offset of the first Sakhalin-2 LNG cargo was achieved by purchasing carbon credits from one of the company’s shareholder’s affiliates, Gazprom Marketing & Trading Ltd.

According to consulting firm Wood Mackenzie, LNG is one of the most emissions-intensive upstream resource themes in the energy sector. LNG producers face increasing pressure to cut emission.
