New York Regulations Hinder LNG Transport, Terminal Development

In order to serve continuing gas demand growth in the already constrained New York City area, the state and city must reconsider current regulatory obstacles to the expanded use of liquefied natural gas (LNG), according to a new report by the Center for Management Analysis (CMA) at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University in Brookville, NY. LNG will play an increasingly important role in providing gas supply to the nation, but no LNG import terminals are currently located in New York, the fourth largest gas consuming state in the nation and the third largest for residential gas consumption. Spot gas prices last winter reached record levels in the state, higher than $70/MMBtu. If the state and metropolitan New York City expect to benefit from LNG, the rules and regulations governing the fuel will have to be revised, according to CMA.
