FERC approval gives Alaska LNG 10 years to start operations
Federal authorization for the Alaska LNG Project sets a 10-year deadline to start operating the gas pipeline and liquefaction plant, twice as much time as regulators generally allow. Comparisons to the Jordan Cove Energy Project, proposed for Coos Bay, Oregon, and the Alaska project are made in rega...

| 520 | |a Federal authorization for the Alaska LNG Project sets a 10-year deadline to start operating the gas pipeline and liquefaction plant, twice as much time as regulators generally allow. Comparisons to the Jordan Cove Energy Project, proposed for Coos Bay, Oregon, and the Alaska project are made in regards to approval, environmental concerns, feasibility, and opposition. Extensions are possible, such as happened with the Yukon Pacific Project authorized in 1995. The FERC order includes conditions, which intervenors may object to. Greenhouse gas emission is an on-going concern for the Alaska LNG Project, which still must contend with competition with numerous U.S. LNG projects. FERC explains its reasons for opposing the alternative terminal sites, which Valdez and the Mat-Su Borough were promoting as well as the alternative Cook Inlet crossing. This press release also deals with wetlands, and wildlife habitat. | ||
