Australia plans to require LNG producers to reserve part of their output for the domestic market.
智通财经2026/10/09 04:361. Australia is set to release the final version of a controversial plan requiring liquefied natural gas producers to reserve up to one-fifth of their output for domestic buyers. 2. Three people directly involved with the proposal stated that the government plans to submit the legislation next week to formally implement the "Domestic Gas Reservation Mechanism." As the discussions are not public, the sources requested anonymity. 3. Due to disruptions in gas supply from Qatar stemming from the Middle East conflict, Australia is currently the world's second-largest LNG exporter. About three-quarters of the country’s natural gas is exported, but the more densely populated east coast is expected to face a domestic supply shortage by the end of this decade. 4. The plan has faced strong opposition from producers. Companies argue that this move will suppress investment and harm Australia's reputation as a reliable supplier on the global market.
