Alaska natural gas pipeline project eyes start for Asian customers

TOKYO — A 1,300-kilometer natural gas pipeline project in Alaska connecting the northern and southern regions of the resource rich U.S. state is expected to be up and running in about three years, a top executive told Nikkei Asia.

Adam Prestidge, president of Glenfarne Alaska LNG, said in a recent interview that the joint venture is planning to make its final financial commitment to the pipeline by the end of this year and start supplying gas drilled in the north to the city of Anchorage by the end of 2028.
