Israel Developing LNG Terminal Plan

摘要

Israeli government plans to build a 4 billion cubic meter (2.9 million ton) per year LNG receiving terminal by 2014, announced in late January, seem a long shot for numerous reasons, not least the current tightness of LNG worldwide. However, Israel may be left with little choice if it wants gas use to expand according to plan. Israeli authorities are aiming to complete an international tender by Jul. 1, 2009, for a contract to build the facility and operate it for 25 years. The winning consortium would also be in charge of supply.
