The U.S. Department of Energy has approved an order that would allow a proposed mega-gas project in Alaska to export liquefied natural gas overseas, though it remains unclear if the project decried by environmentalists will be built.
JUNEAU, Alaska —
Thursday’s action reaffirms a 2020 authorization by the department that was challenged by environmentalists. The department undertook an additional review of the project, which led to the new decision. Alaskans have long dreamed of a pipeline capable of carrying gas from the petroleum-rich North Slope to market. But a project has never come to fruition amid changes in the project’s direction under various governors, cost concerns and other factors.
The current project being pushed by the state-sponsored Alaska Gasline Development Corp. envisions a roughly 800-mile pipeline that would carry natural gas from the North Slope to southcentral Alaska. The project would feature a liquefaction facility that would process, store and allow for the transport of liquefied natural gas.
