Abstract

This article highlights the race to bring liquefied natural gas (LNG) onto America’s continental shelf. The new LNG tanker Excelsior moored to the underwater buoy of Excelerate Energy’s Energy Bridge and, after receiving a Coast Guard go-ahead, began re-gasifying its contents and injecting them into the nation's pipeline grid. Energy Bridge tops a list of nearly a dozen offshore terminals in various stages of planning or construction. It joined an even longer list of LNG terminals in various phases of planning or construction trying to do the same thing on land. Offshore terminals will play a role in this total, as Energy Bridge is demonstrating. Placing terminals at sea eliminates some of the concern about transporting LNG near or through populated coastal regions.
