The Energy Business Group literally fuels the development of industry and helps to improve the quality of people's lives. We handle energy in liquid, gas, and solid states, which provide consumers with light, heat and power. Our expansive energy portfolio consists of natural gas (including liquefied natural gas or LNG), crude oil, petroleum products, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), petroleum coke, coal coke and carbon products.
Our business model is just as far reaching, and we are involved from upstream to downstream in the energy value chain. We explore for, develop and produce oil and gas and have investments in LNG projects. We import and trade trilaterally, and we have interests in domestic trading and retail businesses. Our group is taking measures to use energy more effectively and at the same time protect the natural environment. Our active forays into new energy businesses such as gas-to-liquid (GTL) and bio fuels are cases in point.
