Start-Up LNG Project Intrigues BC, Alaskan Governments

摘要

A start-up calling itself AlaskCan LNG has gotten the attention of governments in British Columbia and Alaska with a plan to build a floating LNG (FLNG) export terminal that would be anchored in Alaskan waters, but use Canadian natural gas. According to the company, its business plan is very simple: Build a $12 billion FLNG in Alaskan state waters and export up to 12 million tons of BC-produced natural gas targeting Asian markets. The company's main selling point: abundant resources, cheap prices and decreased sailing times to target markets.
