TotalEnergies has signed a Heads of Agreement (HoA) with China’s Jiangsu Guoxin Group to supply 900,000 tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) annually for 15 years, starting in 2028, subject to finalising sales and purchase agreements.

The LNG will be delivered to Jiangsu Guoxin Group’s new terminal in Rudong to support city gas supply and flexible power generation, helping meet peak demand and strengthen energy security in Jiangsu province.

The agreement further expands TotalEnergies’ long-term LNG sales portfolio in China, one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing LNG markets.

“We are very pleased to have entered into this long-term agreement with Jiangsu Guoxin Group, which reflects the strength of our integrated LNG model and our ability to build enduring partnerships with leading local Chinese counterparties. Our ability to keep delivering LNG to our customers despite major disruptions this year demonstrates the resilience of our integrated global LNG portfolio to deliver reliable, competitive and flexible LNG supply to our customers. This agreement also highlights the role natural gas can play in the energy transition by supporting industrial development and providing greater flexibility for power generation in high-growth provinces such as Jiangsu”, said Gregory Joffroy, Senior Vice President, LNG at TotalEnergies.

“We are very pleased to partner with TotalEnergies, a leading global LNG supplier. The signing of this agreement will effectively strengthen Jiangsu Guoxin Group's gas supply security and improve the operational efficiency of its infrastructure, while enhancing the resilience of its energy supply chain. It will help the Group further implement the new energy security strategy and better fulfil its responsibility as a provincial state-owned energy enterprise to ensure energy supply. It will also support Jiangsu Province in achieving its carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals and promote high-quality economic development in the province,” said Zhang Wenxiang, Deputy General Manager of Jiangsu Guoxin Group. -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
