Osaka Gas plans move into LNG bunkering business from 2026

Japanese utility Osaka Gas is planning to dive into the LNG bunkering business in the next two years as it builds out its e-methane production capabilities.

The company is dedicated to reducing emissions and is promoting the conversion of fuels from coal and oil to natural gas through its largely Japan-based gas supply business, according to Takenori Fujita, Osaka Gas executive officer and senior general manager of its LNG trading department, energy resources and international business unit.
