IOC, Gail fail to meet listing norms; fined for second straight quarter

State-owned oil and gas giants including IndianOil and GAIL (India) Ltd have been slapped with fines for the second quarter in a row for failing to meet listing requirements of having the requisite number of independent directors on board.

Gail does world's first ship-to-ship LNG transfer, cuts CO2 emissions

India's top gas firm GAIL has done the world's first ship-to-ship liquefied natural gas (LNG) transfer to save on shipping costs and cut emissions as the state-owned entity looks at innovative ways as a pivot to boost business, company officials said. GAIL has contracted 5.8 million tonnes per annum of LNG (natural gas super-cooled to liquid form) from the US. The company brings this volume to India via LNG ships. The ship typically travels a distance of about 19,554 nautical miles for a round trip to transport LNG from Sabine Pass in the US to India via the Suez Canal and Gibraltar. This journey takes approximately 54 days and emits about 15,600 tonnes of CO2. Emissions are generally controlled using the latest technology or changing the destination of the cargo. However, GAIL's innovative contractual arrangement that results in vessels following an optimised path has resulted in a significant reduction in CO2 emission. Recently, the company-hired vessel Castillo De Santisteban mov
