据8月24日消息称，据Kallanish Energy报道，美国能源部已经批准了计划中的阿拉斯加液化天然气（LNG）项目，以出口液化天然气。
上周四，该机构批准了这个价值387亿美元的项目的最终出口许可证。
美国能源部已在2015年5月批准了有条件出口许可证，等待联邦能源监管委员会的项目批准。
该项目由阿拉斯加天然气管道开发公司开发。
该项目旨在将阿拉斯加北坡的天然气输送到亚洲出口，并向该州境内输送天然气。
该项目每年将生产2000万公吨液化天然气。
该项目将包括一条807英里长的管道，每天输送39亿立方英尺的天然气，位于北坡普拉德霍湾的天然气处理厂，以及位于阿拉斯加南部基奈半岛的液化设施。
它还需要另外两条管道，将生产装置与天然气处理厂连接起来。
阿拉斯加液化天然气项目于6年前首次提出，是全球最大的液化天然气项目之一。
自20世纪70年代末以来，该州一直在寻求开发天然气的方法，因为当地没有市场，也没有发达的基础设施将天然气输送到市场。
据估计，北坡普拉德霍湾和汤普森角总共蕴藏着30万亿立方英尺的天然气。

DOE approves exports for Alaska LNG
The U.S. Energy Department has approved the planned Alaska LNG project to export liquefied natural gas (LNG), Kallanish Energy reports.
The agency last Thursday approved a final export license for the $38.7 billion project.
DOE had approved a conditional export permit in May 2015, pending project approval by the Fdederal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The project is being developed by the Alaska Gasline Development Company.
The project is designed to move natural gas from Alaska’s North Slope to Asia for export and to provide in-state deliveries of natural gas.
The project would produce 20 million metric tons of LNG per year.
It would include an 807-mile pipeline to move up to 3.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, a gas-treatment plant in Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope and liquefaction facilities on the Kenai Peninsula in southern Alaska.
It would also require two additional pipelines connecting production units to the gas-treatment plant.
Alaska LNG, first proposed six years ago, is one of the biggest LNG projects in the world.
The state has been seeking a way to develop that gas since the late 1970s because there are no local markets and no developed infrastructure to get the gas to markets.
It is estimated that the North Slope’s Prudhoe Bay and Point Thompson together hold 30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
