Press Release Summary: Energy security policies and need for fuel diversification is
encouraging the Asia-Pacific countries to adopt LNG as a means to reducing
dependence on imported oil.

Press Release Body: According to a recent market research report “Global LNG
Market – The Road Ahead” by RNCOS, Asia-Pacific is the traditional
centre of the international LNG industry, with highest LNG demand and South Korea
and Japan as the major LNG importers in the region. The primary reasons for the
excessive demand in Asia-Pacific are fuel diversification and energy security
policies with increased emphasis on environmental issues that are encouraging the
major economies of the region to adopt LNG as a means of reducing dependence on
imported oil.

The report says that the sustainable development (especially in relation to energy
use) and environment are emerging as two of the most critical issues for the world.
But LNG, with its efficient and clean nature, can play a crucial role in ensuring a
seamless development process without damaging the environment. Both in China and
India, high energy demand, coupled with a large share of coal in the energy basket,
has significantly added to the air and water pollution. Thus, to deal with the
problems, both economies are exploring and supporting the use of natural gas. For
instance, China has banned the construction and expansion of coal-fired power plants
in some large and mid-sized cities.

Put broadly, the Asia-Pacific region has a robust outlook towards economic growth in
comparison to other regions. Due to strong economic growth, energy demand will be
spurred by a rise in economic output and income, making the region next opportunity
stop for the global LNG players.

Asia-Pacific is just one of the regions covered in the “Global LNG Market
– The Road Ahead”. The report provides an exhaustive study on the global
LNG industry. It gives rational analysis supplemented with statistical data on key
growth factors, current market trends, major markets and growth prospects in the
industry to guide the investors to navigate through the evolving LNG market at
global as well as regional level. The report also provides forecast on LNG
liquefaction capacity, global LNG regasification capacity and LNG demand by region.
