Freeport Vice President David Landry said the company is redesigning its proposed Main Pass LNG terminal to mitigate the environmental impact of its open-loop system. For example, the terminal would reduce its need for sea water by re-using excess heat from the port, and would install a filter to protect fish larvae. A final environmental impact statement released by the U.S. Coast Guard on Friday said the facility would pose “minor environmental impacts.” Today’s Times-Picayune has the story.
