US LNG cooperation between MET and Shell

MET International AG, the trading and wholesale arm of Swiss-based integrated energy company MET Group, and Shell Global LNG Limited have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) to expand their existing long-term cooperation in LNG and gas trading.

The signed MOU provides a framework to explore the potential sale by Shell and purchase by MET of approximately 0.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG between 2027 and 2033, sourced primarily from Shell’s US LNG portfolio, for delivery to various European regasification facilities.

The companies also intend to explore cooperation in LNG and gas trading to facilitate access to European markets through the Vertical Gas Corridor, including sales into various European regasification facilities. The cooperation with Shell aims to enhance the security of gas supply in Europe.

In 2025, MET delivered LNG into 17 different markets in Europe and beyond.

“MET is proud to support the strategic cooperation between the United States and the European Union in the field of LNG supplies. This MOU represents another important step in strengthening transatlantic energy ties and will contribute to enhancing the energy security of the EU,”
