Japan’s Tokyo Gas plans to expand the use of floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals across Southeast Asia, targeting countries facing declining domestic gas production.
The initiative would help emerging LNG-importing markets develop infrastructure to secure gas supplies while expanding Tokyo Gas’s regional business beyond its traditional focus on supplying gas to households in Japan.
Floating LNG terminals can provide a flexible alternative to onshore facilities, potentially enabling countries to begin importing LNG with lower upfront infrastructure requirements.
Tokyo Gas’s strategy reflects its broader shift towards international energy infrastructure and business opportunities as Southeast Asia seeks to address declining output from mature gas fields.
