Interesting write-up.
I could see Japan getting involved with Philippines on this kind of project.

I only raised the issue because in a previous life in Japan I came into contact with a project connected with solid (frozen) methane and got the impression the project got closed due to unsolved technical issues.
Had some great times with their engineers though
