In its citation for the award, CFI highlighted Golar’s commitment to repurposing existing assets and using those assets to produce and regasify cleaner burning LNG, facilitating a quicker transition away from higher polluting fossil fuels. Also cited was Golar’s commitment to innovation in the field of energy efficiency and evaluation of new technology and alternatives that could further reduce the carbon footprint of LNG.
