The Ministry of Energy of Thailand has asked national companies PTT and Electricity Generating (EGCO) to initiate discussions with the US Government regarding an LNG development in the US State of Alaska, which could see Thailand import between 3 Mt/year and 5 Mt/year of US LNG.
Thailand’s potential involvement in the US$44 billion Alaska LNG venture could happen through investments in gas exploration and production and related infrastructure for the project. Alaska LNG’s three subprojects are a 1,299 km pipeline, a 20 Mt/year LNG export terminal in Nikiski, and a North Slope-based CCS plant to remove and store 7 MtCO2/year.
In March 2025, the Taiwanese state-owned energy group CPC signed an agreement with Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC) to buy LNG and invest in the AGDC project in the US. In addition, Alaska’s Governor held talks with South Korean energy and steel companies for partnerships on the LNG development project.
