Russia LNG To Outpace Pipeline In Russia's Gas Exports

摘要

LNG export growth in Russia is forecast to outpace the growth of pipeline exports, with the potential to become a major exporter by the end of the decade. The competitiveness of LNG will be aided by an array of tax exemptions and state support. The expansion of LNG will favour Moscow's strategy to diversify its gas export revenue stream towards Asia and away from traditional pipeline routes to Europe.
