IEEJ and EPRINC Cohost Workshop on “U.S. LNG After the Pause: Can the US Still Deliver Affordable Natural Gas to Asia?”

On January 7, 2025, the Institute for Energy Economics Japan and the Energy Policy Research Foundation, cohosted a workshop called U.S. LNG After the Pause: Can the US Still Deliver Affordable Natural Gas to Asia? in Washington, D.C The workshop consisted of two panels to address costs, risks, and opportunities facing both the U.S. natural gas industry in terms of production and also the U.S. LNG infrastructure and buildout. The first panel focused on how U.S. natural gas can meet surging domestic and export demand, and the second panel covered building out the LNG market in Asia, including how financing will play a role in the near future. Tatsuya Terazawa-san, Chairman and CEO of IEEJ, METI officials, and other Japanese participants will join panelists from the IFC, US Chamber of Commerce, US LNG exporters, and US policymakers at this workshop.
