In collaboration with the Australian American Chamber of Commerce Houston

Demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) continues to grow strongly throughout the world, especially in Asia, where massive quantities of energy are needed to sustain economic growth. Australia is about to become the world’s largest producer of LNG, providing most of its production to the established “super-markets” of Japan and South Korea, as well as the emerging markets of China and India. However, many of the large buyers from these markets are now pivoting toward a new growing source of LNG — the United States — which is also offering an attractive new pricing mechanism.

How will Australian suppliers react to this alternate LNG supply and how will the markets determine the winners? Join Asia Society for a discussion on opportunities for Australia and the United States on LNG and the future of the industry in Asia.
