City Council is applying serious energy to what it recognizes as Philadelphia’s best immediate opportunity for significant economic development.
Recent private-sector proposals highlight the potential in repurposing the Philadelphia Gas Works’ Port Richmond terminal for the construction of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) production facility.
Environmentally kinder than coal and oil-based fuels, LNG is used in trucking, maritime, and power generation, and is scheduled to begin fueling international customers this summer. Whether used to power homes and fleets domestically or leveraged geopolitically abroad, LNG represents a profitable niche – among the key objectives of investors working to catapult Philadelphia into the top tier of energy-robust cities.
