Natural gas is a strategic, reliable and affordable energy source that supports social and economic growth, and enables Asia’s transition to a long-term lower carbon and renewable energy mix.
The Asia Natural Gas and Energy Association (ANGEA) work constructively with governments, societies, and industries to support energy solutions across Asia.

Current Members
Australia
Australia is a long-time supplier of energy to Asia, including natural gas. Its ability to continue to supply LNG over the next few decades will be essential to the energy transition and decarbonisation in Asia.

Indonesia
Indonesia is projected to have the world’s fourth largest economy by 2050. It has become strongly reliant on coal-fired power generation in recent years but is aiming to use its gas resources to support decarbonisation.

Singapore
Singapore has successfully transitioned to gas-fired power since the turn of the decade. Natural gas now comprises more than 92% of all generation, supporting flexibility in the way Singapore approaches the energy transition.

Malaysia
Malaysia is one of the largest oil and gas producers in Asia. In the past decade it has become reliant on imported coal for electricity, a situation it will address through increased use of domestic gas resources.
Learn More
The Philippines
The Philippines’ fast-growing economy is matched by its increasing energy demands. With limited domestic gas resources, LNG imports will be critical to the Philippines reducing its current dependence on coal.

Thailand
Thailand has long generated more than 60% of its electricity from natural gas. With domestic production declining, LNG imports have increasingly become part of Thailand’s energy system and decarbonisation plans.

Vietnam
Vietnam has switched from hydropower to coal-fired generation over the past decade as its major source of power. It has ambitious plans to produce more electricity from gas and became an LNG importer in 2023.

India
India became the world’s most populous country in 2023. Energy security is central to economic growth and a key reason why coal currently accounts for 75% of India’s electricity generation.

China
China is the world’s largest emitter of CO2. Although it continues to invest strongly in lower-carbon energy sources such as renewables, China relies on coal for nearly 60% of its power and is still adding capacity.

Japan
Japan is a regional energy leader, including the development of low-carbon solutions. Dependent on imports for almost all its energy needs, Japan pioneered Asia’s LNG industry through the 1970s and 1980s.

Republic of Korea
South Korea is one of Asia’s most advanced economies and natural gas makes a major contribution. LNG imports and nuclear power will have vital roles supporting renewable energy investment in coming decades.
