Asian Gas Grid

by Andy on February 18, 2005

India’s Petroleum Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar has suggested the development of an Asian Gas Grid:

The grid would connect gas-rich nations in the Gulf and Siberia to consumption centres in India, China and Japan.

The proposed Iran-India pipeline via Pakistan could be extended to South China via Burma, while a network of pipelines could link former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan with East Russia on the one hand and demand centres, India and China, on the other. Gas-rich Myanmar and Indonesia could also form part of the grid.
