RBN Energy: are Alaska LNG's strengths enough to outweigh its costs, construction challenges?The 

Trump administration is trying to breathe new life into the long-dormant Alaska LNG project, talking up its strengths and encouraging potential Asian customers and investors to consider it. But the project, a multibillion-dollar plan to pipe natural gas from Alaska’s North Slope to Anchorage and Cook Inlet for liquefaction and export, faces huge financial and administrative hurdles, plus the challenges of building it in Alaska’s rugged terrain and often-harsh climate. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll examine Alaska LNG’s competitive position and whether its reduced shipping costs, coupled with federal support, might be sufficient to outweigh the construction costs and other major obstacles the project faces.
