Japan paves the way for a commercial agreement with America through the LNG portal

‘Jera’, the largest company that imports liquid natural gas in Japan, has an intention to investigate the possibility of buying gas from an export project that is experiencing problems in Alaska, according to people who are familiar with the matter. People who asked not to reveal their identity that the discussions were not public, that “Jira”, who is also the largest electricity producer in the country, signed the undisputed agreement before the summit in the US state next week. People explained that “Gira” was not determined in announcing the intentions of the liquid natural gas you can buy. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The move is a minor progress in the Alaska project, and it is a slight progress for the $ 44 billion LNG export project in Alaska, which has been offered in various forms over decades, but it has trouble closing long decades and binding investments. The Memorandum of Understanding at LNG has been signed, while the Japanese government wants to pave the way to reach a customs agreement with the United States. Supporters of the project, supported by US President Donald Trump, use the Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference to be held next week as a platform to mobilize support. Official participation of Asian countries, Japanese Minister of Trade, Yuji Moto, told reporters on Friday that Deputy Minister of Trade for International Affairs, Takihiko, will not attend the conference. Taiwan will also send a delegation to attend the event associated with the project. Earlier this week, the newspaper “Herald Business” reported that the Korean Ministry of Energy and the Korean gas business will also participate in the same discussions.
