What happens if the pipeline is accidentally perforated and an LNG release occurs near a community?
The presence of LNG will be limited to the ships and the terminal. Once it leaves the terminal, it will be in the form of natural gas that is already transported through existing pipelines today. Our risk analysis indicates that the main hazards associated with the accidental release of LNG are fire and heat radiation. The terminal is located far from residential areas so no LNG releases should occur near a community. Any release at the terminal will be handled by emergency responders. Local authorities are part of the emergency response program that will be implemented during operations.
