The proposed East Coast liquefaction terminal is trumpeting a number of advantages over competing schemes
The proposed Newfoundland and Labrador floating LNG export project (LNG NL) stands out from all the rest in Canada for three reasons. It is the only one planning to source its feedgas from offshore along the east coast of Canada rather than elsewhere in North America—in particular, Western Canada.
