Japan's LNG stockpile surges in Ukraine war-induced energy crisis

There is no shortage of fuel at all

The ‘crisis’ is artificial

Company greed.

Imported from Qatar 6.74 million tonnes, down 44.7%

Imported from Russia 6.86 million tonnes, increased by 4.6%

Japan has enough options for importing LNG that it does not need any from Russia, the other suppliers can easily cover what Russia exports to Japan. should Russia withdraw supply.

Prices higher because master dollar and yen going astray.

So why are we paying higher gas prices?

Still, energy prices in Japan are still rising.

German lng storage is also at record high level. You hoard food before typhoons, nations do the same thing with crisises

Japan should totally boycott Russia, Japan should divest itself of any investments in the Sakhalin joint venture and buy its 9% of LNG on the open market like the other G7 members.

Today we got the electricity bill with 20% off with the government subsidies but not so with the gas, which was also promised.

there is enough of gas for Japan in Russia,there is zero need for any panic.
