Alaska Gasline Development Corporation

AGDC's primary mission is to maximize the benefit of Alaska’s vast North Slope natural gas resources by developing the infrastructure needed to deliver gas to local markets within the state and to international markets. Originally created to advance the Alaska Stand Alone Pipeline (ASAP) project, its mandate was expanded in 2014 to include lead responsibility for the Alaska LNG project, encompassing a gas treatment plant on the North Slope, an approximately 807-mile pipeline, and a liquefaction and export facility in Nikiski.

The corporation has conducted extensive permitting, engineering, financial restructuring, and commercial activities for the project. In 2025, AGDC divested 75% ownership of its wholly owned subsidiary 8 Star Alaska LLC to Glenfarne Group, retaining a 25% minority stake. AGDC continues to represent the State of Alaska’s interests through governance participation, technical and commercial support, and optional equity investment rights in project subcomponents, while Glenfarne leads development and funding.

Headquartered in Anchorage, AGDC operates exclusively in Alaska and plays a central role in commercializing the state’s stranded natural gas reserves as a state-owned development entity.
