Since importing its first LNG cargo in 1969, Tokyo Gas has increased the LNG imports and expanded its market share and diversified its business portfolio.
Imports from Australia began in 1989 from LNG projects in Western Australia, which now account for 52% of the Tokyo Gas Group’s yearly imports.
In 2002, TG Australia was established, investing in five projects – Darwin, Pluto, Gorgon, Ichthys and QCLNG.
Tokyo Gas Australia has also commenced a tree planting project in Western Australia. We are actively pursuing decarbonisation opportunities to achieve our CO2 net zero in 2050.
