LNG Japan is proactively undertaking the capital investment required to deliver LNG and natural gas to customers.
We are developing liquefaction facilities in natural gas-producing countries, LNG carrier, LNG receiving terminal, and participating in downstream gas businesses in economic growth markets. Through this activity, we aim to promote low-carbon, decarbonization and develop into a "Total Energy Solutions Business" that provides a variety of carbon-free energy sources.
LNG Japan has supplied LNG to Japan's electric power and gas companies since the 1970s.
Through our 50 years of experience in LNG trading, we have developed a track record in investment in LNG plant, LNG carriers and LNG receiving terminals. In regard to LNG carriers in particular, we owned 18 vessels and have experience in the ship charter business.
In addition to above, we are also participating in the natural gas sales business for industrial use in Indonesia as a new business venture.
We acquired a 4.8% share of the BIS in April 2016, and joined this project.
The vessel TRIPUTRA owned by BIS, is engaged in LNG transportation within Indonesia.

※The Jababeka Industrial Estate where BBG has been supplying natural gas
LNG Japan and Toho Gas Co., Ltd. have jointly established a special purpose company and acquired a 45% stake in PT Bayu Buana Gemilang ("BBG"), which primarily supplies industrial natural gas in Indonesia. Through this acquisition, we are entering the industrial natural gas sales business in Indonesia.
With a population of approximately 280 million (the fourth largest in the world) and rapid economic growth, energy demand in Indonesia is soaring. The country's primary energy consumption heavily relies on coal, with a dependency rate of about 30%. Indonesia accounts for approximately half of the CO2 emissions among ASEAN countries. As the country aims to achieve "Net Zero CO2 Emissions by 2060," natural gas, which emits less CO2 when burned compared to coal and oil, is expected to play a crucial role as a transition energy.
Since its operations began in 2003, BBG has been supplying natural gas to factories, mainly in the industrial zones of Bekasi Regency in West Java, adjacent to Jakarta, Southeast Asia's largest city, and Gresik Regency in East Java, where large-scale factories are concentrated. BBG is highly rated by its customers for its stable supply.
Through our investment in BBG, LNG Japan aims to promote the use of environmentally friendly natural gas, contribute to the development of Indonesia, and support the realization of a low-carbon and decarbonized society and a stable supply of energy.
