The government of Japan will disclose a public-private initiative amounting to $10 billion, its goal is to draw on the rapid expansion of liquefied natural gas infrastructure due to high consumption of fuel all through Asia.

The Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI) and Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) will serve as agents in engaging Japanese firms to investment plans aiming to establish LNG infrastructure as power plants and offloading terminals.

The minister of economy, trade and industry, Hiroshige Sekō, is scheduled to unveil the project in Wednesday during the  LNG Producer-Consumer Conference.  Leading officials such as the prime minister and cabinet members would likely be in the event, promoting relevant projects to different regions. Moreover, the plan is formed to improve the partnership between the United States and Japan. As shale gas production was withdrawn in the U.S which further caused an issue for finding buyers for the natural gas.

The arrangement between America and Asia to expand shale gas exports is anticipated to tackle at U.S.-Japan economic dialogue meeting on October 16 in Washington, hence the initiative is expected to achieve this goal.

The factor that confines growth of the LNG market is the agreements stating about the restricted reselling of fuel. Meanwhile, India and Japan are expected to sign an LNG cooperation on Wednesday making  LNG supply contracts flexible.
