Vitol has launched a Green LNG product for its LNG customers looking to mitigate carbon emissions. The emissions associated with the cargo, from wellhead to DES delivery, will be offset through the cancellation of Verified Emissions Reductions (VERs). VERs are carbon offset certificates that are verified and issued by one of: UN Clean Development Mechanism, Verified Carbon Standard (VERRA), Gold Standard, American Carbon Registry, China Green House Gas Voluntary Emission Reduction Programme or Climate Action Reserve.
All LNG customers will be offered the opportunity of converting LNG cargoes to Green LNG through offsets. Emissions to be offset will be estimated using the Wood Mackenzie LNG Emissions Tool, which estimates carbon emissions from wellhead to market. The VERs will be sourced from Vitols existing portfolio and the wider market.
