Calgary-based Pembina Pipelines has put a hold on its $8-billion Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas export plant they were building in Oregon..Like the Keystone XL pipeline expansion, Jordan Cove seems to have fallen victim to the change in US presidents..The Jordan Cove project seemed all systems were a go, until Joe Biden took over from Donald Trump as US president..Pembina said it was assessing “the impact of recent regulatory decisions involving denial of permits or authorizations necessary for the project to move forward,” Reuters reported in an appeals court filing on Thursday..The company asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to place the case in abeyance pending the outcome of that re-assessment..In March 2020, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved construction of Jordan Cove and its Pacific Connector gas pipeline, but it failed to receive water permits from Oregon..It had been hoped the plant —to ship LNG to growing markets in Asia — would be finished by 2025..“Nine days shipping to Tokyo with no hurricane risk or Panama Canal risk,” said the Pembina website of the project..Jordan Cove was designed to produce about 1 billion cubic feet per day of gas, or enough to supply about 5 million U.S. homes for a day..“Jordan Cove is one of more than three dozen LNG export projects under development in the United States, Canada and Mexico,” said Reuters..“Analysts, however, expect only a handful of those projects to enter service over the next decade.”.Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.,dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com,.Twitter.com/nobby7694
