Socar Trading said it’s making a major push into small-scale LNG gas-to-power infrastructure projects to bolster its global role in the handling of the super-chilled gas.

The trading arm of Azerbaijan’s state oil producer aims to add five to eight projects building small-scale terminals converting liquefied natural gas for dedicated power plants in emerging markets over the next three years, Hayal Ahmadzada, Socar’s chief trading officer, said in an interview.
