It is also an important step along the path to realizing China�s carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals,� said Yalong Qi, General Manager of China Gas Hongda Energy Trading Co., LTD.

�China Gas is a premier natural gas distribution company in China, and we are pleased to enter into this 25-year LNG offtake agreement with them,� said Tom Mason, President of Energy Transfer LNG. �This SPA brings our total amount of LNG contracted from our Lake Charles LNG export facility to nearly 6.0 mtpa and is an important step towards our goal of reaching FID later this year.�
