How we do business

Our Grain liquefied natural gas import terminal has signed an agreement with a proposed neighbouring power station. This agreement allows the terminal to use the station's excess heat to warm liquefied gas, in the process of converting it for use on the national gas system. The result is expected to include a reduction of 350,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide used every year. A pipeline will be built between the two sites to transport warm water to the terminal. The first heat transfer is planned for 2010.
