The development of new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals in the United States will be challenged because of public misperceptions following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, said the head of LNG business development of Phillips Petroleum Co. on Thursday. Those unfounded perceptions led to a 20-day ban on LNG imports through the Boston harbor last October, and similar fears have led to local opposition to the reactivatation of the Cove Point terminal in Lusby, MD scheduled this year (see NGI, Oct. 22, 2001; Dec. 17, 2001).
