What American Gas Partners Association (AGPA) Does

American Gas Partners Association is a nonprofit advocacy organization focused on advancing US natural gas as a strategic energy and national security asset through policy leadership and sovereign alignment.

AGPA does not provide commercial services. Instead, it builds the policy, regulatory, and financial frameworks that enable long term, secure LNG cooperation between the United States and Europe.

Policy Advocacy and Government Engagement

AGPA engages with US and EU government stakeholders to advance energy security policies that support reliable, affordable, and non-Russian natural gas supply.

This includes advocacy related to:

  • Transatlantic energy security strategy

  • LNG market access and long term demand certainty

  • Regulatory alignment across jurisdictions

  • Integration of natural gas into energy transition policy

Sovereign Backed Frameworks

A core focus of AGPA’s work is advocating for sovereign backed mechanisms that reduce risk and cost across the LNG value chain.

These frameworks include:

  • Sovereign project debt guarantees

  • Sovereign offtake backstop guarantees

  • Sovereign equity participation

  • Upstream credit support

Together, these tools enable broader participation by producers and industrial end users while lowering delivered LNG costs.

LNG Market Structure and Transparency

AGPA promotes transparent, cost based LNG structures that reduce inefficiencies created by excessive intermediaries and risk premiums. By supporting sovereign backed credit and scale, AGPA helps remove structural barriers that prevent smaller producers and buyers from participating in global LNG markets.

Stakeholder and Funding Coordination

AGPA serves as a coordination platform for:

  • Government agencies and ministries

  • Development banks and sovereign institutions

  • Policy aligned funders

  • US natural gas producers

  • European industrial end users

This coordination ensures that policy objectives, funding structures, and commercial pathways remain aligned.
