LNG

The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has pushed back the decision deadline on a request from Marathon Petroleum Corp. to convert the Kenai liquefied natural gas export plant in Alaska into an import terminal.

Alaska Governor Michael J. Dunleavy has begun a visit to Japan where he will promote future liquefied natural gas exports and visit the Negishi LNG import terminal where the first cargo from Alaska was unloaded 50 years ago and meet Tokyo Gas executives as well as proponents of a new Alaskan liquefaction project.
