What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Japanese companies have made investments totaling $21 billion since 2023 to secure access to natural gas, primarily targeting shale resources on the US Gulf Coast. This investment spree follows market instability linked to conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. Japan, the world's second-largest buyer of liquefied natural gas, is using these investments to replace disrupted Middle Eastern deliveries and compensate for falling reserves in Asia.
