Description
Description | Japanese public financial institutions have invested $56 billion in overseas liquefied natural gas (LNG) development projects between 2013 and 2024. These investments are part of Japan's strategy to encourage direct overseas investment in LNG export projects, making Japan a main driver of LNG development in the Asia Pacific region. The projects are promoted as transitional fuels under initiatives like the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC), despite concerns about their environmental impact and potential to lock partner countries into fossil fuel dependency. |
