Natural gas is playing an increasingly important role in providing cleaner energy for Asia-Pacific countries, but bringing the energy market into the future is a challenging task.

In advance of the 2011 Pacific Energy Summit held in Jakarta with the theme of “Unlocking the Potential of Natural Gas in the Asia-Pacific,” we asked Mikkal Herberg, NBR’s research director for Asian energy security, to explain the importance of natural gas in Asia and the challenges facing policymakers and energy resource developers. Mr. Herberg is also a senior lecturer on international and Asian energy in the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies at the University of California, San Diego.
