“The supply of LNG will contribute to the reduction of AMNS’s carbon emissions, in line with Total’s ambition to offer its customers energy products that emit less CO2 and to support them in their own low-carbon strategies.”

Total said that the agreement bolsters its relationship with the Indian steel production company. Besides, it contributes to the decarbonization of the Indian steel industry, which still depends heavily on coal, said Total.
