BP PLC said Monday that it has delivered its first carbon-offset liquefied natural gas cargo in the Asia Pacific region.

The British energy giant said the shipment was delivered to CPC Corporation at the Yung An terminal in Taiwan in September.

BP said carbon dioxide and methane emissions associated with the cargo were estimated using its own quantification methodology.

"Global demand for LNG is growing rapidly. bp intends to continue supporting this ‎growth by diversifying its offer, including by developing bundled carbon offset LNG ‎products to meet customers' demand," the company said.
