Taiwan's CPC signs 15-year LNG deal with Qatar
7/7/2021
Taiwan's state-owned refiner CPC Corp. signed a 15-year LNG supply agreement with Qatar Petroleum. CPC said that starting next year it will buy 1.25 million tons of LNG annually from Qatar for domestic consumption.
"Since our country began importing LNG from Qatar in 1997, Qatar has always been an important source of stable supplies," CPC said.
It did not provide financial details of the agreement.
Australia and the United States are Taiwan's other main sources of LNG.
The government is trying to generate more electricity from LNG as it shifts away from both coal-powered and nuclear plants.
