French oil and energy giant Total has made liquefied natural gas, LNG, a cornerstone in its global utility strategy. And with a portfolio of approximately 40 million metric tons per year and a share of more than 10 percent of the global market, the firm is already the second-largest LNG operator in the world.

Now, Total means to further dial up propagation of the cooled gas via a new collaboration with technology company Siemens.

In a joint press release, the parties state they will work together to find the best solutions for LNG production with as low CO₂ footprints as possible.

The duo's most important joint effort will be to examine a range of different designs of LNG facilities to determine the cheapest, most reliable, dependable and climate-friendly plant.
