In the Natural Gas Business Division, we are engaged in natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in various areas around the world. The goals of the business are to improve energy security and help to provide a natural gas supply that meets customer needs.

Natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG)

In 1969, when LNG was first imported to Japan from Alaska, MC primarily acted as an import agent for the Japanese market.
Since then, we have been involved in a multitude of projects and a variety of operations, including production, transportation and trading of LNG in areas such as Brunei, Malaysia, Australia, Oman, Indonesia and Russia, in addition to role as import agent for Japanese customers.

Worldwide demand for LNG is expected to increase. To sustain our growth going forward, we are engaged in a variety of new initiatives that build on our 40-year experience in the industry.
These include a liquefaction project operator in Indonesia (the Donggi-Senoro Project), development and production of shale gas in Canada, a project to extract associated gas from crude oil in Iraq, initiatives aimed at exporting LNG from the U.S., and natural gas exploration activities in Papua New Guinea.
