THINK Gas to set up two LNG filling hubs in AP
THINK Gas, City Gas Distribution (CGD) company, has announced the roll out of two new LNG filling hubs at Nellore and Anantapur districts in Andhra Pradesh. Along with these, another LNG filling hub is coming up at Vallam in Tamil Nadu's Kanchipuram District. These three new fuelling points are expected to be operational by September 25.
As a merged CGD entity of AG&P Pratham and THINK Gas, now operating under the THINK Gas brand, the company has focused on long-haul clean mobility infrastructure. In addition to these three hubs, three more LNG fuelling points will become operational by December 2025. It is integrating the new LNG hubs with its well-established LCNG stations.
THINK Gas Managing Director and CEO Abhilesh Gupta said, 'The addition of six new LNG filling hubs at our existing LCNG Stations marks a major milestone in our mission to accelerate the adoption of low-emission fuels in the heavy commercial vehicle segment and also drives economic growth by providing fleet operators with cost-effective fuel.'
'We currently operate 18 LCNG stations across our authorised geographical areas. These stations are now being equipped with LNG dispensing capabilities to support the growing demand for long-haul, low-emission transport solutions,' he said.

Senior Taiwan official visits site of new Alaska LNG project
TAIPEI, - A senior Taiwanese official said on Saturday he had this week visited the site of a potentially enormous new liquified natural gas project in Alaska that the Trump administration has been pushing hard to allies in Asia as a supply option. Energy developer Glenfarne had said on Tuesday that 50 firms had formally expressed interest in contracts worth more than $115 billion from its Alaska LNG project, a massive infrastructure deal championed by U.S. President Donald Trump. Writing on his Facebook page, Pan Men-an, secretary-general to Taiwan President Lai Ching-te, said he had attended an energy conference in Alaska at the invitation of U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and visited the state's North Slope. Phase One of the project is expected to deliver natural gas about 1,230 km from the North Slope to the Anchorage region. "Despite the freezing temperatures, we talked enthusiastically about building resilience and responsibility as democratic partners in the face of global climate change and the challenges of authoritarianism," Pan wrote. "In the face of trade challenges and international turbulence, we have no choice but to rise to the occasion," he said, without mentioning whether he had signed any deals while there. The presidential office said late on Friday that Pan had been accompanied by Fang Jeng-zen, chairman of Taiwan's state-owned energy company CPC. CPC in March signed a non-binding agreement to buy LNG and invest in the project, a move Taiwan's president has said would ensure the island's energy security. If built, the Alaska LNG project will export up to 20 million metric tons of the superchilled gas a year. It would open direct access for U.S.-made LNG to Asian markets without having to go through the Panama Canal or around the Horn of Africa, reducing transit time and costs. Taiwan has pledged to massively ramp up its purchases from the United States, including energy, to reduce a yawning trade surplus that has angered Washington.

Trump administration approves coal mine expansion to boost Asia exports
The US Interior Department approved a plan by Signal Peak Energy to expand coal mining, providing exports for Japan and South Korea, the agency said on Friday, as it responded to President Donald Trump's energy-emergency directives. The approval authorizes the Montana-based coal company to recover 22.8 million metric tons of federal coal and 34.5 million tons of adjacent non-federal coal and extend the life of the Bull Mountains mine by nine years. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who is also co-chair of Trump's Energy Dominance Council, said unlocking more federal coal enables the US to bolster ties with allies abroad. "President Trump's leadership in declaring a national energy emergency is allowing us to act decisively, cut bureaucratic delays and secure America's future through energy independence and strategic exports," he said. On January 20, Trump declared an energy emergency to speed permitting, roll back environmental protections and withdraw the US from an international pact to fight climate change. Signal Peak had initially sent its plan to expand its mining operations to the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement in 2020, but it has been under federal review and subject to litigation since then. The Interior Department completed the environmental impact statement for the mine expansion according to its new policy to speed such reviews to a maximum of 28 days. Burgum this week joined Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin in Alaska to promote an LNG project, as well as other energy exports destined for Asian markets. The Bull Mountains mine in Montana, located in Musselshell and Yellowstone counties, employs over 250 workers and primarily supplies Japan and South Korea. Environmental groups have tried to block the expansion of the mine over concerns about its water use and greenhouse gas emissions. "It's utter hogwash that we have to sacrifice the climate, water resources, wildlife and area ranching operations in order to send coal overseas to be burned by foreign countries," Anne Hedges, executive director of the Montana Environmental Information Center, said in a statement.
