Japan's largest power generator, JERA, is exploring Alaska as a potential new source for liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies, signaling renewed interest in diversifying energy imports. The development comes as Japanese officials prepare for another round of critical tariff negotiations with their American counterparts this week.

In recent years, energy security and the diversification of gas supply sources have become increasingly important topics. In this context, Qilak LNG is actively pursuing its liquefied natural gas (LNG) production project in Alaska. The initiative has gained support from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, which is keen to boost gas exports to Asian markets.
