Doha: Qatari liquefied natural gas producer RasGas has reached a deal to supply France’s EDF with up to 2 million tons of the fuel annually.
Government-backed RasGas said Wednesday it will begin delivering the LNG to a terminal in Dunkirk, France, starting next year.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
RasGas already has three existing long-term LNG agreements with EDF subsidiaries in Italy and Belgium.
Qatar is the world’s largest supplier of LNG, which is natural gas chilled until it becomes liquid for transport aboard tanker ships.
