Investment, Permitting Stand as Largest LNG Hurdles
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) may not only fill the gas supply gap, but might end up displacing indigenous resources down the road if enough projects can overcome local opposition and line up the required financing for construction, according to several analysts speaking at the GasMart conference in Denver on Tuesday.

Rutgers’ Lab Volunteers Will Find Out Just How Bad Sour Gas Stinks
A new run is being taken at one of the tallest hurdles confronting natural gas supply development in Canada, fear of emissions from “sour” reserves, laced with lethal hydrogen-sulphide, which make up about a third of Canada’s gas resources. This time the scientific effort will be quartered in the northeastern United States in an independent laboratory far removed from conflicts in the western provinces.
