He explained that once the new facility is open, it will be able to accommodate gas tankers 10 times the size of the current ones, allowing for \u201cacross the board cost reductions\u201d. When asked about importing shale gas from the U.S., he said that \u201cthere are currently allowances for LNG procurement\u201d, but indicated the company would consider joint procurement with other companies once its existing contracts had expired. He also said the company\u2019s sales efforts\u2014once dampened by the popularity of all-electric houses\u2014have boosted the percentage of new houses using gas to between 30% and 50% of levels before the Great East Japan Earthquake \u201cWe would like to increase that to more than 50% as soon as possible,\u201d remarked Sakemi.
