Is Kenai LNG Terminal operating?

Kenai LNG Terminal is proposed, with a first tracked start year of 1969. Nothing here should be read as a forecast that it will be built.

How much LNG can Kenai LNG Terminal handle?

Kenai LNG Terminal has 0.4 Mtpa proposed. Capacity at different statuses is never added together.

Who owns Kenai LNG Terminal?

Kenai LNG Terminal is owned by Harvest Alaska LLC, and operated by Harvest Alaska LLC. Shares are as recorded in the current tracker release.

Which maritime chokepoints do cargoes from Kenai LNG Terminal pass?

Cargoes from Kenai LNG Terminal would normally pass Panama Canal. This is an editorial model of typical laden voyages by destination market, not vessel tracking, and any individual cargo may go another way.

What pipelines connect to Kenai LNG Terminal?

5 tracked gas pipelines pass within 25 km of Kenai LNG Terminal. Proximity is not proof of a physical connection; each match is listed with its distance.

Supplied via

Chokepoints that cargoes arriving at this terminal typically cross, based on where its region is supplied from.

Panama Canal

Routing is an editorial model of typical laden voyages, held in a hand-maintained lane table. It is not vessel tracking, and it does not account for diversions, canal draught limits, ice class or seasonal closures. See methodology, or take the machine-readable exposure feed. Links to the Chokepoints site are inactive until its domain is set in the environment.

Background on the technology and the terms used on this page.

FSRU versus onshore regasification
An FSRU is a ship that stores LNG and turns it back into gas while moored, doing the job of an onshore import terminal without the onshore construction.
LNG and maritime chokepoints
A maritime chokepoint is a narrow strait or canal that a large share of seaborne trade must pass through, and LNG exposure to them depends entirely on which exporting region supplies which importing market.
Mtpa, bcm and cubic metres
LNG capacity is quoted in three incompatible units, and the two conversions that matter are 1 million tonnes a year equals about 1.36 billion cubic metres of gas a year, and 1 cubic metre of liquid equals about 600 cubic metres of gas.
Reading a capacity figure without being misled
An LNG capacity figure is only meaningful alongside three qualifiers — which unit it is in, which project status it describes, and whether it is a design nameplate or actual output — and most disagreements between sources come from one of those being dropped.
