(Bloomberg) — Japan\u2019s state energy firm is evaluating the sale of its stakes in liquefied natural gas projects across the Asia-Pacific region, potentially to local investors, as the country prepares for growth in demand for the fuel.<\/p>\n
The Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security, better known as Jogmec, has invited bids for \u201casset valuation and related services for the sale of equity interests in LNG projects in Asia and Oceania,\u201d according to a tender published on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The government-backed company did not identify the projects being considered for potential divestment, and declined to share details in a response to Bloomberg\u2019s request seeking comments.<\/p>\n
Jogmec has stakes in several LNG projects across Asia and Oceania, including in joint ventures that own part of Australia\u2019s Wheatstone LNG project and a share in Indonesia\u2019s Tangguh LNG plant.<\/p>\n
Managing long-term LNG supplies remains central to energy security for resource-starved Japan. Jogmec\u2019s mandate includes early-stage financing for high-risk resource projects before transferring or selling its stakes to Japanese companies once these become commercially viable.<\/p>\n
