FROM MOLECULE TO ELECTRON

Gas and power

Natural gas has become an important part of the energy mix, helped by the growth of liquefied natural gas (LNG), a flexible means of transporting the commodity over long distances to major centres of demand.

The use of electricity is expected to grow due to the energy transition. We work with power producers, connecting them with major industrial consumers through a variety of products and services.

LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS

Local to global

The continued growth of LNG has turned natural gas from a regional to a globally traded commodity. It is now a flexible source of energy for countries looking to maintain security of supply. Trafigura was a first mover in creating a globally tradeable market for LNG and today we are a major supplier, working with every major producing country.

CASE STUDY

Safeguarding Europe's gas supply

We have committed to provide large amounts of gas to western Europe, specifically in Germany, for the next four years.

 

Trafigura will supply gas to Securing Energy for Europe (SEFE), an organisation that has received funding from the German government.

CASE STUDY

Our supply agreement with Cheniere

Our long-term offtake agreement with US LNG producer Cheniere was a first for an independent commodity company and added an important source of gas to Trafigura’s growing global portfolio of suppliers.

 

By securing long-term supply, our customers know they can rely on us to meet their energy needs.

POWER PROVIDER

Navigating complex markets

Our power business works with producers and consumers in the US and Europe. We buy electricity from generators and sell it to large consumers on terms matched to their needs. This could mean supplying power and renewable energy certificates to meet emission reduction targets.

 

Our integrated approach enables us to supply thermal power generators with fuel and sell the electricity they produce. In addition, we have access to all main energy markets and our activities are supported by round-the-clock operations, that provide balancing and dispatching services to power plants and assets.
