Can the other proposed LNG projects in New England and the Maritime Provinces meet our gas demand needs?
There are a number of proposed LNG terminals in the Northeast U.S./Canada in various permitting and development stages. The demand picture in the region is robust, however, and can not be met by the potential supply from the proposed terminals. Downeast LNG also believes that most of these sites, particularly those in the U.S., will encounter difficulty in obtaining all of the necessary permits. This assessment is based on evidence that growing local opposition may be sufficient to stop the development of the projects, and on site-specific issues associated with some of the sites, including urban locations, environmental impact of dredging, and safety prohibitions.
