Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Energy Sciences, grade: NA, Universiti Brunei Darussalam (FASS), language: English, abstract: LNG development is currently amongst the most controversial projects around the world, strongly contested by opponents, generally consisting of environmental activists in communities where LNG operations are planned or on-going, who usually go to great lengths to present to dissuade governments from approving LNG projects, contrary to the views of LNG proponents. Because these conflicting views on the benefits and negative impacts of LNG continue to animate the debate, this paper is intended to examine salient issues of the debate for and against LNG, based on the views of both proponents and critics. The aim is to identify the major sources of the conflicting reactions and perceptions and propose sustainable solutions for a mutually beneficial and peaceful cohabitation of LNG with the biophysical and social environmental concerns of stakeholder communities. Two [You have listed three points.] important points have been established: - That critics of LNG have been vital drivers of innovation in the LNG sector, forcing LNG developers to continuously thrive to design new environmentally friendly technologies. - That EIA, an invaluable component of all major projects has evolved greatly in the spatial sense, since its introduction in the USA in the 1960s, but its content and methods have changed little over this time. Thus it still dwells strictly on bio-physical and economic considerations, with limited emphasis on social impacts. This is based on the illusion that money can compensate for all other consequences, and especially true of the cases of LNG projects presented here. In most cases the social impacts considered have been limited to such aspects as employment, health, safety, livelihoods, leaving out important cultural, spiritual, relational, emotional or psychological issues; an ominous omission. This paper concludes that by adopting the guidelines and principles for Social Impact Assessment (SIA), improving techniques of SIA and the inclusion of all major local stakeholders in all stages of LNG projects from planning to implementation (effective stakeholder participation) the rift between LNG development and community resistance could be significantly narrowed.

The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding global gas markets and the energy policy challenges facing us in the 21st century.Õ Ð Jacqueline L. Weaver, A.A. White Professor of Law, University of Houston Law Center, US Countries around the world are increasingly looking to liquefied natural gas (LNG) Ð natural gas that has been cooled until it forms a transportable liquid Ð to meet growing energy demand. Energy for the 21st Century provides critical insights into the opportunities and challenges LNG faces, including its potential role in a carbon-constrained world. This comprehensive study covers topics such as the LNG value chain, the historical background and evolution of global LNG markets, trading and contracts, and an analysis of the various legal, policy, safety and environmental issues pertaining to this important fuel. Additionally, the author discusses emerging issues and technologies that may impact global LNG markets, such as the development of shale gas, the prospects of North American LNG exports, the potential role of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum and floating LNG. The author contextualizes the discussion about the importance of LNG with an analysis of why the 21st century will be the Ôgolden ageÕ of natural gas. Accessible and non-technical in nature, this timely book will serve as an essential reference for practitioners, scholars and anyone else interested in 21st century energy solutions.

The LNG supply chain extends from upstream production, LNG production plant, shipping, storage, and regasification to supply to sales gas pipelines and power plant users. LNG production is capital intensive and the recent costs have deterred the commitment of most investors, and any future LNG production plant owners must reevaluate the current technologies for a -fit-for-purpose" design to reduce the life cycle costs."

Book excerpt: Papua New Guinea's Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project has been beset by an intractable 'landowner problem' since 2009, throughout its construction and operation. This paper begins by proposing that the problem has four different aspects or dimensions, each of which can be considered as a problem in its own right, and suggesting that would-be problem solvers in the national policy process have adopted three different approaches in their search for a solution. The roots of the problem and its possible solutions are traced back to a succession of policies and practices that have their origin in the late colonial period, and were subsequently applied to the development of major mining projects, as well as to the development of PNG's oil export industry in the 1990s. Particular attention is paid to the way that the problem came to be addressed in the Oil and Gas Act of 1998 and to the way that this legislation framed the unsuccessful search for a solution during the negotiations that led to the agreements under which the LNG project now operates. The paper is primarily based on evidence assembled by the author during the period of his own direct engagement with the relevant policy process between 1993 and 2009.
