Singapore's Pavilion Energy Trading & Supply Pte Ltd said on Wednesday it has jointly developed with suppliers QatarEnergy and Chevron Corp (CVX.N) a method to calculate greenhouse gas emissions for liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes.
The calculation of emissions from wellhead-to-discharge terminal will be applied to sales and purchase agreements that Pavilion Energy has with the producers, the trading company said in a statement.
Pavilion's announcement follows a framework launched by the International Group of Liquefied Natural Gas Importers (GIIGNL) on Wednesday to establish rules to declare cargoes carbon neutral. read more
