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.
