LNG’s Role in Delivering Natural Gas for Florida Consumers

LNG’s Role in Future US Gas Supply (Tcf) Incremental Supply ( ) All Other Production Source: DOE

Why is LNG Important Now? Natural gas use is expected to increase by 38% by 2025 Traditional North American producing areas will provide only 75% of US gas needs through 2025 LNG is forecast to supply over 15% of the US demand in 2025 Source: DOE and National Petroleum Council

History of LNG Natural gas was considered an unwelcome by- product of crude oil until around 1920, when it was recognized as a source of valuable fuels such as propane and butane –1941: First liquefaction plant in Cleveland, Ohio –1959: First LNG transport by ship to UK –1960: First base-load liquefaction plant in Algeria –1964: Large-scale shipping between Algeria and Europe –1969: LNG transported from Alaska to Japan

LNG Today The LNG business is rapidly growing worldwide with more and more plants being built or under development Currently there are: –15 LNG Liquefaction Plants operating in 12 countries –38 LNG Regasification Plants operating in 14 countries
