What kind of role of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to play the energy source in the US?

Although the United States of America it is the responsibility of the importer for liquefied natural gas (LNG), is also an exporter. Only the export facility for liquefied natural gas (LNG), and the oldest active marine terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the United States, is located in the Kenai, Alaska. The Terminal has exported small liquefied natural gas (LNG) and Japan after almost continuously pursues an activity in 1969.


Natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG) that has been cooled to approximately 260 degrees Fahrenheit supply or storage of a non-flammable than less. Liquid gas volume of about 600 times lower than its gaseous form.This compact form natural gas tankers can be delivered to specific receiving terminals in the United States and the general public of importing countries. these terminals for liquefied natural gas (LNG) returned to gaseous form and transported by pipeline across territory distribution companies and industrial consumers power plants.


Traditionally, liquefying gas provided a way to long distances when the pipeline transport moving, it was not possible to access natural gas than in regions with the highest production, if any, that are too far away from the end-use market by pipeline to be connected. Currently, THE LNG industry worldwide has increased in such a way that the distance is just one of many factors that may affect the development OF THE LNG project.


Liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports to the US were generally not considered to be competitive on the domestic supply of natural gas and pipeline imports from Canada in the 1980s and 1990s, the result is low for liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports for the period in question. This concept began to change at the beginning of the 1990s punk rock album-gas production time and the United States has the highest gas prices increased significantly.Now has two US imports include is opened, which was at idle, when gas prices dropped in the early 1980s except five new terminals Simpsons Checks structure has been designed since 2005.


LNG imports are expected to have a production capacity of more than six times in 2009, it was the beginning of the Decade.Increase the capacity of the receiving liquefied natural gas (LNG) and offers opportunities to grow the u.s. LNG imports vis-à-vis the us in the coming years. Annual importation is estimated to be exceeded 1 trillion cubic feet of 2015.1, the importation of natural gas currently account for a further period of requirements in the United States, a small part is only 1.5% in 2008.


Liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports to the US growth has been uneven over the last few years, significant changes over the imports of suppliers each year to bring spare cargos decisions either a u.s. or to divert the cargos to countries where prices may be higher. In 2007 a number of key low gas prices in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) and efficient outside North America caused a liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply of the world and cargos emergency measures in the case of a surplus or the North American market, which is by far the largest area of the natural gas market in the world.When outside of North America prices increased in 2008, the u.s. importation declined 54% from 2007 by means of a high-771 billion cubic metres in feet 352 billion cubic metres of feet (Bcf).


Liquefied natural gas (LNG), the US high global demand during the prices do not generally show the same competitive prices offered by buyers in other countries.This is, for example, Japan and South Korea, two of the largest LNG efficient countries in the world, are almost entirely dependent on LNG their considerable demand for natural gas.These countries often link to liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the price of crude oil prices directly, with energy-equivalent of recently been significantly more expensive than natural gas in North America. deliveries of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and direct-mail campaign in the United States and the European (often referred to as the Atlantic area trade) final destination is determined, to a large extent, these competing market price of natural gas.However, other factors such as existing contracts (some of the prices of oil prices), the available capacity and uudelleenkaasuunnuttamispalvelut available storage also meaning.


Trinidad and Tobago, South Caribbean Sea, deliveries of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and most of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports into the USA.Located in Fort Point, Trinidad and Tobago, the Atlantic LNG processing plant produces now almost 700 Bcf per year.In recent years in several African countries, including Egypt, Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria, the United States have also provided LNG. Algeria that until 1995 was the only vendor in the USA, the liquefied natural gas (LNG) and African countries has also submitted to the United States in recent years, LNG, but rare.


Also supplies started to enter the Kingdom of Norway on the Snohvit LNG project. Snohvit project is the first export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Western Europe. Qatar in the Middle East, the largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and in the world, has given the liquefied natural gas (LNG) and rarely to the United States in a context of continuing its production capacity. Qatar in the next few years in the United States is expected to be steady supply in 2009. Russia and Yemen for the first time the LNG exporters. However, from these countries is expected to reach Us at regular intervals.
