Taiwan Agrees to Buy 30% of Alaska Pipeline Gas, Plans $4.4 Billion Investment
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Taiwan has agreed to purchase 30% of the natural gas output from a planned pipeline project in Alaska, with Taiwan also set to invest $4.4 billion in the venture. The pipeline, backed by Alaska and U.S. firms, aims to transport gas from northern Alaska to the south for liquefaction. Taiwan's state energy company CPC Corp has previously expressed intent to secure LNG supplies and investment rights to enhance energy security amid regional tensions. The project faces technical and economic challenges and is not expected to be operational before 2030.
