Abstract

This Part II of the report discusses two main topics : how much liquefied natural gas ( LNG supply infrastructures are needed in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ( ASEAN + India by 2030 to satisfy the LNG demand projection results presented in Part I and how much investments are required by 2030 to implement the identified LNG supply infrastructure in ASEAN and India. To explore these topics, the following discussions and findings from Part I were considered: additional demands of LNG at provincial levels due to new natural gas thermal power plants converted thermal power plants from diesel fuel to natural gas additional industrial, household and transport uses of compressed natural gas and LNG bunkering for shipping. The projected LNG demands were presented in three scenario s in Part I Part II is based on the middle projection scenario in Part I. These projected demand s were assumed to be added to the current natural gas demand. Therefore, the estimated additional investment for additional LNG supply chain infrastructure development includes the existing LNG supply chain infrastructure.
