Galveston LNG Bunker Port is a small-scale LNG bunker terminal in development by Pilot to supply clean burning LNG to the rapidly expanding fleet of LNG-fueled vessels. With new international regulations mandating cleaner burning fuels for the marine industry starting in 2020 and the shipping industry’s drive to reduce carbon emissions, GLBP is ideally situated to supply the growing Galveston Bay Port Complex with marine bunker fuel. The project is supported by the financial strength of our partner Seapath Group.
The Cork LNG FSRU import terminal will be located in the Whitegate area of Cork Harbour with a short pipeline lateral to Gas Networks Ireland’s main transmission system. The proposed terminal will provide a security of supply backstop for Ireland’s natural gas and energy needs. By design, the flexibility of an FSRU project can support and adapt to the nation's energy transition plans. Pilot has executed an agreement for the exclusive development of the terminal with the Port of Cork.
Salina Cruz LNG is a mid-scale LNG liquefaction facility in development with GF International. The project is strategically located on Mexico’s Pacific Coast at the Port of Salina Cruz. The project's focus is on bunker markets on the Pacific West Coast, as far north as Southern California and south to the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal. There is also optionality to utilize Salina Cruz for competitively priced, Henry Hub-linked exports to Asia by avoiding the Panama Canal.
Cleaner Fuel
When compared to burning traditional fuel sources, natural gas emits 20-30% less greenhouse gases and over 90% less Sulfur Oxides (SOx), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (soot).
Price Competitive
Over the past 10 years, natural gas fuel prices have been 5x less volatile than their oil-based counterparts. Natural gas is a more reliable and stable commodity.
Fuel for the Long Term
In the coming years, bio-LNG will be a bright spot for the industry and our path towards a lower carbon future. Bio-LNG is produced from completely renewable resources, such as organic and industrial waste. Given that bio-LNG has nearly identical chemical properties to traditional LNG, its is an ideal alternative as a "drop-in-fuel" requiring little equipment modifications. Most importantly, the recycling of the organic and industrial waste feedstock reduces greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 70% and 80%, respectively.
