Alaska LNG Project Executive Highlights Short 6–7 Day Shipping to Japan and Low Geopolitical Risk

An executive at Glenfarne, the company leading the Alaska LNG project that processes and exports natural gas from the U.S. state of Alaska as LNG, emphasized the advantages for Japan and other Asian countries of a short shipping time of six to seven days and low geopolitical risk. In an interview with Jiji Press, Adam Prestidge, head of the company's Alaska LNG division, said that unlike supplies from the Middle East or Australia, Alaska LNG comes from a politically stable source, and that price terms different from those for U.S. Gulf Coast production are under discussion. The project is estimated at 44.5 to 54.5 billion dollars, with financing being arranged separately for the pipeline and the liquefaction and export facilities, and Macquarie Capital is serving as financial advisor in talks with dozens of banks. The Japanese market is one of the most important, and JERA and Tokyo Gas have shown interest in procurement, but he also expressed the view that the project would succeed even without purchases from Japan.

Offshore wind faces continued headwinds as BP withdraws; government expands support to retain developers

It has emerged that British oil major BP is considering withdrawing from the consortium selected as the developer for the offshore wind project off the coast of Yuza Town in Yamagata Prefecture. The move comes against a backdrop of soaring construction costs driven by global inflation. The project is expected to continue with the remaining partners, including Marubeni, Kansai Electric Power, and Tokyo Gas, but developers in other sea areas are voicing concerns about a potential domino effect of withdrawals from consortia. In its Strategic Energy Plan released in February last year, the government set a target of raising the share of wind power in the electricity mix to around 4 to 8 percent by fiscal 2040. However, headwinds persist, as a consortium led by Mitsubishi Corporation withdrew from three sea areas off Chiba and Akita prefectures, citing rising costs. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is stepping up financial support, including expanding participation in the long-term decarbonization power source auction and raising the ceiling on revenue guarantees, in an effort to retain developers.
