NorthernStar Natural Gas is developing and will own and operate liquefied natural gas receiving terminals on the West Coast of the United States. We are a service provider for both suppliers and consumers. Our suppliers will ship their LNG to one of our terminals, where we will re-gasify the fuel and connect it to households and businesses in the markets we serve through existing pipeline systems. We currently have two projects in mature development (Bradwood Landing in Oregon, and Clearwater Port in California) and a third project in early development.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the liquid form of natural gas-the same gas widely used in American homes and businesses every day. Natural gas is turned into its liquid form by processing it in a plant that operates like a giant refrigerator, cooling it to 260 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. In its liquid form, the gas becomes a clear, colorless and odorless liquid that takes up just 1/600th of the space of its gaseous form, making it safer, easier and more affordable to transport over long distances, keeping prices low for consumers. Liquefied natural gas is converted back to gas by passing the liquid through vaporizers that warm it. Both processes are performed using advanced technologies with a proven safety record. Liquefied natural gas has been in wide use throughout the world for over 40 years.
