Alaska LNG project could start up as soon as 2030, state governor says: Reuters
- Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy said on Friday that exports of liquefied natural gas from Alaska could begin by 2030 or 2031 after President Trump supported the proposed $44 billion Alaska LNG project in his address to Congress last week.
- It is expected to deliver about 3.5 bcf/d, much of it for international markets, from the North Slope gas fields.
- The project requires an 800-mile pipeline to bring gas from Alaska’s north to send it to customers in Asia and no final investment decisions have yet been made.
- Alaska is talking to potential buyers in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Thailand, Dunleavy told the CERA Week conference, adding “we’re looking at an expedited process to build a pipe,” in about two-and-a-half years.
- “We have all the permits, feedback from all the court cases, we have the support of the president of the United States, we have Asian allies that need gas,” Dunleavy said when asked about his optimistic timeline.
