Gazprom receives a proposal from Japan

Gazprom is ready to reject the construction of an LNG plant in the Far East in favour of pipeline projects. In particular, the company considers a proposal from Japan on the construction of gas pipeline to Hokkaido island and further to Tokyo, and participation in gas distribution and energy supply in Japan.

“Gazprom” considers the possibility of the construction of a pipeline to China and Japan instead of the realization of the “Vladivostok LNG” project. The chairman of the Board of Management of Gazprom A.Miller confirmed the announcement, made by the monopoly earlier that the pipeline supplies to China are alternatives to an expensive the LNG-project. “We are thinking about the possibility of pipeline gas supply to China from the Far East. It is considered to be an alternative to LNG,” he said.
