It costs no more to import NG to Japan than to anywhere else. NG is everywhere cheaper than the same BTUs from oil, the older standard.
In the future, the fuel will be synthetic, and cheaper than NG.
- midoridensha 4y agoAgain, where are you going to get it from? Russia? And, no, it's not cheaper than oil, since the transportation process is so expensive and difficult. It's a gas, remember? In case you haven't noticed, Germany's NG has been severely curtailed because of the troubles with Russia, and they're facing a cold winter without much heat. So again, I ask you: where exactly is all this "cheap NG"?
- moloch-hai 4y agoMaybe do some research? NG is transported in liquified form, in the millions of tons, routinely. Germany just constructed a new LNG terminal in record time, to use LNG so imported.
- midoridensha 4y agoLiquifying and shipping NG is far more expensive than just pushing it through a pipeline. Why do you think the NordStream pipelines were even built? And again, for the nth time I'm asking you here, where the fuck are you going to get it from? If it was so easily available, Europe wouldn't be screaming right now, and no one would care about Russia.
