Abstract

The paper explores potential long-term revenue risks to LNG exports to the extent LNG competes with alternative energy sources (such as renewables) in LNG destination markets. Given the longevity of LNG infrastructure investments, the evolution of the attractiveness of LNG substitutes over a long time frame is an important determinant of potential revenue risks to the extent such revenue risks cannot be mitigated via contracting arrangements.
