Liquefied Natural Gas (Lng)

Growing demand for natural gas and perceived limitations on domestic supply have increased U.S. interest in the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a supplement to more traditional natural gas sources. Importation of LNG requires import terminals to transfer LNG from tanker ships to the nation’s pipeline system for distribution to its ultimate users. Because LNG is potentially hazardous, siting of these import terminals has become a contentious issue.
