Supported by Japan's LNG and natural gas industry, the summit will revolve around the Pacific Rim as a dynamic region paving the way forward for the LNG industry.
- Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan are among the largest LNG consumers;
- Australia, Papua New Guinea, Canada and the US are new suppliers, ever growing in strength;
- Indonesia, Vietnam and Philippines are markets with emerging demand;
- Singapore, Japan, China and others work towards new LNG hubs and new pricing and stock exchange indices.
The summit's agenda's highlights include:
- Supply and demand dynamics: buyer hesitation to enter long-term contracts vs supplier requirements for certainty to invest in Greenfield projects: how do suppliers and buyers move beyond the current impasse?
- New supplies: are the new wave of supplies game-changing? What are the project updates from Western Canada and United States?
- New markets: where will the next round of LNG demand come from in the region? Where are the new opportunities to collaborate?
- Investment: who funds the infrastructure to fulfil predicted demand growth post-2020?
- Shipping: what will be the effect of the widening of the Panama Canal and emerging Arctic shipping routes?
- Pricing and indices: Japan and China join Singapore in the race to become Asian LNG hub – what, if any, is the most desirable? Are new pricing and LNG indices feasible?
- Deregulation: what does liberalization of Japan’s power market mean for the domestic natural gas industry?
- Portfolio optimisation: where does LNG lie in the energy mix for the end-users – particularly Japanese utilities?
