Meeting with the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation
2024/12/18
On December 13th, 2024, Consul Kiyohiko Hamada, Head of the Consular Office of Japan in Anchorage met with Alaska LNG representatives Frank Richards and Matt Kissinger from AGDC to again hear an overview of the project's status.
Positioned as one of the lowest-carbon-intensity LNG projects globally, it offers transformative opportunities for Alaska's economy, including reduced energy costs in Fairbanks and new industries in Cook Inlet. Phase 2 of the project will include LNG exports to Japanese and South Korean markets shoring up energy security and promoting international collaboration in the Pacific. AGDC is working to transfer the project to private-sector leadership and to complete the project's front-end engineering and design phase by 2026.
