Inclusion criteria describe evidence that can establish this activity. Exclusion criteria identify circumstances that do not establish it on that basis alone. The evaluation remains connected to its taxonomy version and supporting evidence.
Included when supported
Evidence may support involvement when it matches one or more of these inclusion criteria.

Operators of Natural Gas Processing Plants
Defined as: Companies operating facilities that remove impurities, separate hydrocarbons, or prepare raw natural gas for commercial use or transport.
- 02Criterion
LNG Liquefaction Facility Operators
Defined as: Entities converting natural gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG) for storage, shipping, or export.
- 03Criterion
Companies Producing Commercial LNG Products
Defined as: Firms engaged in the large-scale production of LNG for industrial, utility, transportation, or export markets.
- 04Criterion
Natural Gas Compression and Conversion Operators
Defined as: Companies operating facilities that compress, condition, or convert natural gas into transportable or marketable forms.
- 05Criterion
Integrated Energy Companies With Gas Processing or LNG Operations
Defined as: Diversified energy firms that own or operate gas processing plants or LNG terminals as part of their midstream operations.
- 06Criterion
Developers of LNG Export or Gas Processing Infrastructure
Defined as: Entities involved in constructing, expanding, or financing LNG terminals, liquefaction plants, or gas conditioning infrastructure.
- 07Criterion
Companies Producing Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) Through Gas Processing
Defined as: Firms extracting propane, butane, ethane, or similar hydrocarbons from raw natural gas streams.
- 08Criterion
Floating LNG (FLNG) Facility Operators
Defined as: Companies operating offshore floating liquefaction infrastructure for processing and exporting natural gas.
Excluded on this basis alone
These circumstances do not establish this activity unless separate evidence also meets an inclusion criterion.
- 01Criterion
Natural Gas Exploration and Extraction Companies Without Processing Operations
Defined as: Upstream gas producers that do not own or operate gas processing or liquefaction facilities.
- 02Criterion
Gas Pipeline and Distribution Companies
Defined as: Entities focused solely on transmission, storage, or retail delivery of natural gas without processing or LNG conversion activities.
- 03Criterion
Natural Gas-Fired Power Generation Companies
Defined as: Utilities or power producers consuming natural gas for electricity generation without gas processing or liquefaction operations.
- 04Criterion
LNG Shipping Companies Without Liquefaction Operations
Defined as: Marine transport firms carrying LNG cargo without ownership or operation of LNG production facilities.
- 05Criterion
Industrial Consumers of LNG or Processed Gas
Defined as: Manufacturers, utilities, or industrial operators purchasing LNG or processed gas for consumption rather than producing it.
- 06Criterion
Engineering, Equipment, or Maintenance Providers
Defined as: Contractors and technology suppliers supporting gas processing infrastructure without operational ownership or control.
