LNG- Natural Gas

 

History

 

The siting of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals on Maine's coast continues to generate controversy and disrupt communities.  LNG is transported in large tankers from foreign ports to terminals where it is unloaded, regasified, and shipped by pipeline. Public safety and environmental concerns have been raised concerning these potential sites.
