Uniper Teams Up with MiQ and EQT on Emissions Pilot Aimed at US LNG

Exploring Innovative Solutions for Decarbonizing the Energy Sector

Uniper, MiQ, and EQT have joined forces to launch a groundbreaking emissions pilot program focused on US liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. This collaboration marks a significant step towards achieving net-zero operations and transitioning to a cleaner energy future.

Understanding the Emissions Challenge

The energy industry faces a pressing challenge in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. LNG, while cleaner than other fossil fuels, still contributes to carbon emissions during its production, transportation, and use. Addressing these emissions is crucial for mitigating climate change.

The Pilot Project: A Comprehensive Approach

The three companies will combine their expertise to develop innovative solutions for decarbonizing LNG operations. The pilot project will involve:

• Carbon capture and storage (CCS): Capturing CO2 emissions at LNG export terminals and storing them underground.
• Renewable hydrogen blending: Blending hydrogen, produced from renewable sources, with LNG to reduce carbon emissions during combustion.
• Digital tools for emissions tracking: Utilizing digital technologies to monitor and quantify emissions throughout the LNG supply chain.

Long-Term Impact and Benefits

The successful implementation of this pilot project has far-reaching implications for the energy industry and beyond:

• Reduced emissions: Substantially lower greenhouse gas emissions from LNG exports, contributing to climate change mitigation.
• Enhanced competitiveness: Decarbonizing LNG operations will enhance the competitiveness of US LNG in the global market.
• Set an industry benchmark: Establishing a benchmark for emissions reduction in the LNG sector, inspiring other companies to follow suit.

The Uniper-MiQ-EQT partnership is a testament to the collective efforts required to tackle the climate crisis. By collaborating on innovative solutions, they aim to pave the way for a more sustainable energy future.
