March 18, 2024. Eight renowned companies decided to join together to create an international coalition that supports the development of the production and use of e-natural gas (e-NG), a synthetic natural gas produced from renewable hydrogen and CO2.
e-NG can be transported and/or liquefied and then sold as natural gas, using existing infrastructure. In this way, it can be used by end customers without the need to adapt to their facilities, which makes it a particularly interesting synthetic fuel to support their decarbonization efforts.
TotalEnergies, Engie, Mitsubishi Corporation, Osaka Gas, Sempra Infrastructure, TES, Tokyo Gas and Toho Gas are joining their expertise and efforts to establish the “e-NG Coalition”, whose purpose is to support the development of e-NG in a reliable, affordable and sustainable way.
In this sense, TotalEnergies is currently studying the “Live Oak e-NG” project with Tree Energy Solutions (TES), to produce between 100,000 and 200,000 tons of e-NG per year in the United States by 2030. The e-NG Coalition will therefore benefit from the expertise TotalEnergies acquires through this project, as well as its expertise in renewable power generation, large-scale project management, gas liquefaction, and green hydrogen project development.
