Liquid Natural Gas in New Zealand
The New Zealand government (MBIEs “Government Investment in Dry Year Risk Cover: Consideration of an LNG Import Facility” 10 Feb 2026) sets out the case for importing liquified natural gas (LNG). There are a variety of potential technical solutions, and they all involve the use of a marine vessel containing large quantities of LNG. There has been little or no discussion on the safety implications of transporting, storing and regasifying large quantities of LNG.
