Dela. River LNG Export Dock Will Get Up to 360 Truck Trips/Day
The propaganda drumbeat against a proposed LNG dock facility in New Jersey continues by Big Green. New Fortress Energy is building a natural gas liquefying plant in northeastern Pennsylvania. The LNG produced at the plant will get trucked to the bank of the Delaware River on the New Jersey side where New Fortress plans to build a pier allowing two ships at a time to dock and load the LNG. Here’s the latest line of attack against that plan: That loading facility *may* see up to 360 truck trips per day. Which is supposed to enrage area residents against the plan.

Yesterday, over the shrill objections of THE Delaware Riverkeeper, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) approved a plan put forth by New Fortress Energy to build a $96 million 1,600-foot-long pier on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River at the former DuPoint dynamite factory site. The purpose of the pier? To dock and load two ships at a time–loading them with either LNG (liquefied natural gas) and/or NGLs (natural gas liquids, like propane, butane and ethane).
Attendees at the LDC Gas Forum Northeast conference in Boston heard from speakers on Monday who said supplying natural gas for LNG export operations is creating “a large opportunity for Northeast producers and midstream operators,” but those producers and operators need to be “more aggressive in pushing back against opponents” of their projects.
A few weeks ago MDN brought you the news that THE Delaware Riverkeeper had finally (months after everyone else knew) woke up to the fact that New Fortress Energy is planning to build an LNG loading facility on the banks of the Delaware River, on the New Jersey side, near Philadelphia (see 
Something is not going well at Elba Island in Georgia. Kinder Morgan has left a string of broken promises about the date for which the first Elba Island LNG export plant “mini-train” will begin producing and shipping LNG. We’ve chronicled the journey extensively.
