- 格伦法恩计划于今年及明年做出最终投资决定，2031年启动液化天然气出口
华盛顿8月13日路透电 – 阿拉斯加州州长迈克·邓利维表示，他对一项旨在推进阿拉斯加液化天然气项目管道建设、以便向亚洲出口天然气的法案在州议会搁浅一事“深感失望”。
邓利维周三晚在X平台上发帖称，州议会决定不在本届会期复会就推进这个价值500亿美元的管道和终端项目所需的税收调整法案进行投票，这将向投资者和潜在合作伙伴发出“负面信号”。据当地新闻电台KTUU报道，议员们称该法案的支持度不足。
该项目还将增加国内天然气供应渠道。
“阿拉斯加正在耗尽可负担且可靠的天然气，”邓利维说，“这是一个长期存在的问题，数十年来因无所作为而愈发紧迫。拖延行动只会增加风险、推高成本并限制未来的选择。”
KTUU报道称，邓利维目前正敦促议员们在8月20日复会进行投票。
特朗普政府将阿拉斯加液化天然气项目宣传为加强美国与包括日本在内的伙伴及盟友的国家安全和贸易的一种方式。
白宫和美国能源部未立即回应置评请求。
该项目的牵头开发商格伦法恩未立即回应置评请求。
格伦法恩高管今年3月表示，中东战争引发了亚洲对阿拉斯加液化天然气的兴趣。他们当时表示，公司计划于今年及明年做出最终投资决定，并于2031年开始运输液化天然气。

，已签署初步协议，将合计每年从阿拉斯加液化天然气项目采购200万吨液化天然气。
该项目的管道和出口终端的最终审批陷入延误，原因是格伦法恩尚未完成目标：为其每年2000万吨的计划液化天然气出口产能的80%签订具有约束力的承购协议。
今年3月，格伦法恩高管表示，他们已敲定每年1300万吨的采购承诺。他们称，还需要再达成300万吨的采购协议，并将所有承诺转为具有约束力的协议，以筹集项目资金。

- Dunleavy says Alaska faces worsening shortages of affordable, reliable natural gas
- Trump administration backs project as strengthening security and trade with allies including Japan
- Glenfarne targets final investment decisions this year and next, with LNG exports starting in 2031
WASHINGTON, Aug 13 (Reuters) – Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy said he was “deeply disappointed” that a bill to advance a pipeline for the Alaska LNG project to export natural gas to Asia stalled in the state legislature.
Dunleavy said in a post on X late on Wednesday that the legislature’s decision not to reconvene this session to vote on a tax change needed to advance the $50 billion pipeline and terminal project would send a “negative signal” to investors and potential partners. Legislators cited insufficient support for the bill, local news station KTUU reported.
The project would also increase access to gas for domestic use.
“Alaska is running out of affordable, reliable natural gas,” Dunleavy said. “This is a long-standing issue that has grown more urgent over decades of inaction. Delaying action only increases risk, raises costs, and limits future options.”
KTUU reported Dunleavy was now urging lawmakers to reconvene on August 20 to vote.
The Trump administration has promoted the Alaska LNG project as a way to boost national security and trade with partners and allies, including Japan.
The White House and the Department of Energy did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Glenfarne, the lead developer, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The war in the Middle East is spurring interest in Asia for gas from Alaska LNG, Glenfarne executives said in March. They said at the time the company aimed to make final investment decisions this year and next, and start shipping liquefied natural gas in 2031.

, have signed preliminary deals to buy a combined 2 million metric tons a year from Alaska LNG.
Final approvals for the project’s pipeline and export terminal are delayed as Glenfarne has yet to reach its target of signing binding offtake deals for 80% of the planned export capacity of 20 million tons a year of LNG.
In March, Glenfarne executives said they had lined up commitments for 13 million tons a year. It needed agreements for another 3 million tons, and to make all commitments binding to line up financing, they said.
