With a view to pursuing the development of a common gas market for ASEAN, in 2021 ASCOPE plans to develop the gas advocacy communication plans to raise awareness and understanding of natural gas benefits. Given the Covid-19 situation, ASCOPE members will consider appropriate communication platforms for engagement with various authorities/ministerial/ governmental and relevant key stakeholders to facilitate understanding of the full value spectrum of the gas value chain.
The Meeting highly appreciates ASCOPE’s work plan for TAGP Program in 2021 under APAEC Phase 2 and looks forwards to ASCOPE’s continued promotion of natural gas and LNG, contributing to the transition towards cleaner energy supply and usage.
