Currently, the Ministry of energy is actively exploring the construction of a gas pipeline to Japan. No specific decision has not been made, but overall the Department is ready to accept the project under certain conditions. In particular, energy Minister Alexander Novak said that the Ministry will support the construction of a gas pipeline to Japan, if the interest in this project will be shown by representatives of business. During the international forum "the Arctic – territory of dialogue", the Minister told the media that the Agency will approve the project if it is economically feasible, and the business decides that it is, indeed, profitable. However, to make a decision on this issue need to be further explored. It is known that the construction project exists for a long time, and Gazprom is also constantly considering it. It is noted that the length of the pipeline may reach 1.5 thousand kilometers, and the main part will be under water.
