Alaska LNG project seeks Asian investment

中化新网讯 近日，阿拉斯加天然气开发公司（AGDC）发言人蒂姆·菲茨帕特里克表示，阿拉斯加官员计划访问日本和韩国，为计划中的440亿美元阿拉斯加液化天然气（LNG）项目寻找潜在的亚洲投资者。

CNCIC News :Recently, Tim Fitzpatrick, a spokesperson for the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC), stated that Alaskan officials plan to visit Japan and South Korea to seek potential Asian investors for the proposed $44 billion Alaska LNG project.

菲茨帕特里克表示，AGDC和该项目开发合作伙伴格伦法恩集团的官员将于3月底访问亚洲，向行业领袖介绍阿拉斯加LNG项目的经济和战略竞争优势，并讨论参与该项目的机会。早些时候，阿拉斯加有关人士表示，阿拉斯加LNG公司可能于2030年开始出口。日本方面已经表达了对该项目的潜在投资意向。在全球范围内投资LNG项目的日本贸易巨头三井物产首席财务官重田彻也在2月表示，该公司可能会考虑支持阿拉斯加LNG项目。韩国和美国正在成立一个工作组，将讨论阿拉斯加LNG项目以及能源、造船、关税和非关税壁垒等问题。

Fitzpatrick stated that officials from AGDC and Glenfarne Group, the project's development partner, will visit Asia in late March to present the economic and strategic competitive advantages of the Alaska LNG project to industry leaders and discuss potential investment opportunities. Earlier, Alaskan officials indicated that the Alaska LNG project could begin exports by 2030. Japan has already expressed potential investment interest in the project. In February, Tetsuya Shigeta, CFO of Mitsui & Co., a major Japanese trading conglomerate with global LNG investments, mentioned that the company might consider supporting the Alaska LNG project. Additionally, South Korea and the U.S. are establishing a joint working group to discuss the Alaska LNG project, as well as issues related to energy, shipbuilding, tariffs, and non-tariff barriers.

AGDC是一家美国国有企业，致力于推进阿拉斯加LNG项目。该项目旨在将北坡的天然气输送到阿拉斯加并将LNG出口至日韩。美国特朗普政府一直在敦促日本和韩国购买更多LNG，以减少美国与其亚洲盟友的贸易逆差。

AGDC is a U.S. state-owned enterprise dedicated to advancing the Alaska LNG project. The project aims to transport natural gas from the North Slope to Alaska for liquefaction and export LNG to Japan and South Korea. The Trump administration has been urging Japan and South Korea to purchase more U.S. LNG, seeking to reduce trade deficits between America and its Asian allies.
