9 UNDESA’s Research Project: Transport and Utilisation of Natural Gas in Northeast Asia

Abstract This paper offers an overview of the research programme “Transportation and Utilization of Natural Gas in Northeast Asia” led by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs in the 1990s. It sought practical and economic transnational gas pipeline infrastructure routes to connect Russia, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and China. A group of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences contributed to the project, with the vice-president of the academy, Teng Teng, being the team leader. The research team managed to outline five potential routes with a long-term prospect until 2020. By studying the TUGNA programme, we can grasp the original considerations of the participating countries and gain insights into the context of infrastructure development and cooperation in Northeast Asia.
