The Port of Tacoma in the U.S. northwest has approved a lease for plans by Puget Sound Energy to build a $275 million liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility. Although the proposed facility is primarily to ensure supply for domestic customers in Western Washington during periods of peak demand, it will also provide an opportunity to serve local transportation companies looking to shift from traditional fuel sources to cleaner LNG.243-8燃?xì)庹{(diào)壓器，CNG調(diào)壓閥
In addition, PSE is expected to execute an agreement to supply TOTE with LNG to fuel its two Orca-class cargo ships that travel weekly between Tacoma and Anchorage, Alaska. In 2012, TOTE announced plans to upgrade those two vessels to run on LNG instead of diesel fuel. This innovative technology and cleaner fuel source will help TOTE exceed the EPA’s new air-emission standards, which require vessels operating within a 200-mile zone along U.S. and Canadian coastal waters to reduce sulfur emissions from their engines to improve air quality.
Because of its environmental benefits, LNG is becoming an increasingly popular choice for the transportation sector, including both maritime shippers and long-haul trucking fleets. The PSE facility, when completed, will provide enough LNG production and storage capacity to replace approximately 47 million gallons of diesel fuel a year.
LNG is the liquid form of natural gas, a fuel used in millions of homes, businesses and vehicles every day. LNG is neither flammable nor explosive in its liquefied state.
