Transcripción del abstract original del autor: "The 21st century is the Asian Age" has been heard for a long time. Now, developing countries in the Asian Pacific Region have been increasing their energy consumption in accordance with their growing economies. Natural gas use is no exception! In particular, it is quite certain that China and India, which currently, by virtue of their population size (not economic size) are consuming huge amount of energy (mostly coal), will change into major natural gas importing nations in the near future. This means that natural gas importation by these two highly populated countries will have a great/huge impact on the supply and demand balance in Asia. Simultaneously, long-term supply and demand forecasts can be estimated. including the future completion of LNG projects that are now being planned or studied in the region. This report will make it clear what is going on in Japan's LNG market and what subjects need be overcome.
