LNG

The US Department of Energy said the Epcilon LNG export project in the Mexican state of Sonora has been authorized to import pipeline natural gas to Mexico and re-export it as LNG to nations without a Free Trade Agreement with the US.

TransCanada Corp., the North American pipeline company with plans for LNG plant connections in British Columbia and elsewhere in the region, said it had placed into service a key Mexican pipeline across the border from the US states of Texas and New Mexico.
