Atlanta, GA (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Chart Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: GTLS) signed a Letter of Cooperation with ExxonMobil India LNG Limited, an affiliate of ExxonMobil, and Indian Oil Corporation (“IOCL”) focused on pioneering virtual pipelines to accelerate gas access in India. Virtual pipelines deliver liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) by road, rails and waterways not connected by physical pipelines.

This Letter of Cooperation expands the reach and potential scale within a significantly growing country that has committed to clean energy options.

“We believe this collaboration with ExxonMobil, a major LNG supplier with a local presence in India, coupled with our ongoing work with IOCL will accelerate India’s ability to offer a cleaner energy solution within the growing cities and networks," said Jill Evanko, Chart’s President and CEO. “We are excited to offer our cryogenic equipment to support what each party in this collaboration believes will accelerate clean energy progress while doing so with localized equipment manufacturing in India.”
