Energy majors, including Chevron and ExxonMobil, team up to promote natural gas in Asia

Energy majors, including Chevron, ExxonMobil, JERA, JGC, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Santos and SK E&S, are banding together to help nations in Asia achieve lower carbon emissions by promoting natural gas. Together they have established an advocacy group called Asia Natural Gas and Energy Association (ANGEA) that will join with policymakers to find solutions to cut carbon emissions.

“The Asia Natural Gas and Energy Association (ANGEA) will advise governments as they develop energy policies and solutions, including renewables and energy conservation, to meet their national needs, achieve global climate goals as established by the Paris Agreement, and encourage investment to support social and economic changes vital for a stable, consistent and affordable transition,” the association announced today.

Supported by foundation members Chevron (NYSE:CVX) , ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), JERA, JGC, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (NYSE:MHVYF), Santos (ASX:STO) and SK E&S, with other major global and regional companies soon to announce their involvement, ANGEA members will harness their expertise across the life cycle of the industry from energy development and production to transport, distribution and storage, added ANGEA.
