About this project
The description is as the source gives it.
Sumitomo Metal Mining converted boiler fuel from heavy oil to LNG at the Niihama Nickel Refinery in Japan to reduce GHG emissions in its smelting and refining operations. This is part of broader energy transition efforts at Japanese sites. The project supports the company's Scope 1 emission reductions in its own operations.
