Abstract:
An overview of Liquefied Natural Gas facilities will be presented including the technology, process, commercial and political aspects of a typical LNG facility. Reference will be made to the proposed LNG peak shaving plant intended for the Sunshine Coast, BC.
Topics include:

- Construction and Operating Costs. Typical construction costs and site specific costs will be discussed.
