What is Jogmec currently doing regarding its LNG project stakes in the Asia-Pacific region?

Jogmec is evaluating the sale of its equity stakes in liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects across the Asia-Pacific region, including Asia and Oceania, and has formally invited bids for 'asset valuation and related services' to support this potential divestment, as stated in a tender published on Wednesday.

Why does Jogmec hold stakes in LNG projects, and what is its broader role in Japan's energy strategy?

Jogmec holds stakes in LNG projects as part of its mandate to provide early-stage financing for high-risk resource projects, with the aim of securing long-term LNG supplies essential for Japan’s energy security—given the country’s lack of domestic resources—and then transferring or selling those stakes to Japanese companies once the projects become commercially viable.
