Centrica looks set to become the first company to back a compressed natural gas marine transportation project after rejecting an LNG option.
The UK energy company has taken an internal decision to export gas from the Caribbean island of Tobago as CNG, sources revealed.
In an interim results statement this week, chief executive Sam Laidlaw said: “We are also progressing engineering design and exploring development and partnership options for gas export at our block 22 project in Trinidad and Tobago, potentially using CNG technology.”
Calgary-based companies Grantech Engineering, which is fronting Neptune Gas Technologies’ CNG interests on behalf of Canadian utility Emera, and developer Sea NG are said to be the last two providers left in the running for the job.
