Our Mission

American Gas Partners Association is a nonprofit advocacy organization advancing US natural gas as a cornerstone of transatlantic energy security, industrial competitiveness, and allied economic stability.

AGPA exists to align government, industry, and sovereign institutions around a shared objective: replacing Russian gas with secure, affordable, and policy aligned American natural gas.

Why AGPA Was Formed

Europe’s long term energy security depends on reliable access to non Russian natural gas supply. At the same time, US producers require stable, long duration demand and policy certainty to support continued investment.

Despite shared interests, fragmented LNG markets, high intermediary costs, and credit barriers prevent direct and efficient cooperation between US producers and European end users.

AGPA was formed to address this gap through policy leadership, sovereign backed frameworks, and coordinated stakeholder engagement.

Our Role in Transatlantic Energy Security

AGPA operates as the policy and advocacy counterpart to American Gas Partners’ commercial execution.

While American Gas Partners aggregates European industrial demand and delivers LNG supply pathways, AGPA builds the sovereign and regulatory foundation that makes those pathways viable.

This includes:

• Engagement with US and EU government stakeholders
• Advocacy for sovereign credit, debt, and offtake support
• Alignment of energy security and climate policy frameworks
• Support for transparent, cost based LNG structures

The Sovereign Bridge

AGPA advocates for policy tools that reduce cost, risk, and inefficiency across the LNG value chain, including:

  • Sovereign project debt guarantees

  • Sovereign offtake backstop guarantees

  • Sovereign equity participation

  • Upstream credit support

These mechanisms enable broader market participation, lower delivered LNG costs, and improve resilience during commodity cycles.
