Nova Scotia Could Be Home to $5B Liquefaction Terminal

Downstream Today -- HALIFAX - A small Calgary-based firm is proposing to liquefy natural gas on Nova Scotia's east coast and ship it overseas to markets in Europe and India.

The president of Pieridae Energy Canada said Wednesday he is looking for sources of gas that will be cooled, liquefied and exported by ship from the Guysborough County community of Goldboro, about 200 kilometres northeast of Halifax.

Alfred Sorensen, who formed the company 18 months ago, said his proposal calls for the storage and export of five million tonnes of liquefied natural gas per year.

Sorensen said the project could cost close to $5 billion and employ about 1,500 during its construction phase. About 100 workers would be needed for its operation, he said.

At this time there is an abundance and some of the wells are being shut down. This could be partially alleviated if obama would support Natural Gas in Vehicles both public and private. What is he getting for not doing so?
MAC48 Champion Author Dallas Posts:1,581 Points:789,295 Joined:Dec 2006	Message Posted: Oct 27, 2012 4:23:12 AM Ignore MAC48 Report Abuse Would it not make more economic sense for Canada and the US to use the "natural gas to liquids" technology to convert the natural gas to diesel, kerosene and gasoline here in their own countries AND then ship the resulting end product to Europe and India. This would add additional permanent jobs here and avoid the very costly natural gas liquefaction process, storage and pumping infrastructure. In addition building "natural gas to liquids" plants would add to each countries strategic abilities to supply its domestic needs if there are disruptions in the operation of the current motor vehicle fuel production facilities or if supplies of imported crude oil and refined fossil fuel products were to be cut off for any reason. The "natural gas to liquids" technology is discussed in an article below titled 'Shale Glut Becomes $2 Diesel Using Gas-to-Liquids Plants' posted by schow on October 25th.

wegman Champion Author Twin Cities Posts:7,941 Points:2,116,130 Joined:Jun 2001	Message Posted: Oct 27, 2012 3:38:26 AM Ignore wegman Report Abuse Interesting. But WHERE will he get the gas. There is an unfortunate 'keep it here' mentality in the US for natural gas AND if natural gas were to be exported from the US because of the shale boom it would make sense to build the facility in the US. And while I know Canada has an oil boom due to tar sands, I'm not aware of a natural gas boom - so the question remains - WHERE does the gas come from? HOWEVER, weaning Europe off of Czar Vladimir I's supplies from Russia would be a VERY good thing.

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:33,606 Points:2,374,185 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Oct 27, 2012 3:32:52 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse Nova Scotia Could Be Home to $5B Liquefaction Terminal, if the US can do it why not Canada too! Big Oil and Big Gas exports fuel and natural gas to other countries that will pay more for it, much more than here. There will be NO price reduction or cheaper prices for natural gas IN the US, so it does NOT matter how much crude oil or natural gas is produced. Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very safe, reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! XII/XXII/MMXII!
