Pipleines International: Poten & Partners Report Recommends LNG Pipeline for Lebanon

“In a study commissioned by the World Bank, Poten & Partners has recommended that Lebanon construct a subsea pipeline and floating storage re-gasification unit (FSRU) to import natural gas. Poten & Partners identified Qatar, Algeria, Yemen and Egypt as the key potential gas sources for the LNG plant, given their geographic proximity to Lebanon and availability of supply. The report estimated that Lebanon would require between 1.5 and 2 MMt/a of LNG by 2020 and encouraged Lebanese officials to move quickly in securing LNG supply. “
