Sabine Pass LNG Terminal

Sabine Pass LNG Terminal
(Founder, General and Limited Partner)

The Sabine Pass LNG terminal is located on over 1,000 acres of land along the Sabine Pass River on the border between Texas and Louisiana, in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. It is located at the widest point on the Sabine River Navigation Channel, only 3.7 nautical miles from the open water and 23 nautical miles from the outer buoy. The channel is maintained at a depth of 40 feet and is not subject to tidal limitations. The terminal has two docks that are recessed far enough so that no part of the LNG vessel will protrude into the open waterway while docked.

The 11 Top Biofuels Trends of 2011

The 11 Top Biofuels Trends of 2011
Jim Lane | December 27, 2011

It’s that holiday time, time to look-back with misty eyes at the glories of yesteryear. In our case, at the 11 Hottest Trends of 2011, in what proved to be a vintage year for biofuels. There were IPOs a go-go, a big comeback from biodiesel. The global ethanol fleet has acquired new popularity amongst advanced biofuels developers looking for capital light steel in the ground. Meanwhile, gasification got hot. Seemed like every algae venture headed for Algstralia, and Brazil and the US Navy became everyone’s new best friends.

Will biofuel produced from algae power the future?

With the demand for alternative fuels on the rise, engendered mainly by the ballooning prices of fossil fuels, there is an inherent need to manufacture algae based biofuels commercially by bringing down the input cost of production. As they are environmentally friendly, biofuels are greatly preferred over fossil fuels for energy production. Biofuels can be produced using both algae and food crops, but owing to many reasons it is a good idea to not use the latter for their production.

Risks Cloud Outlook for Economy in 2012
By CONOR DOUGHERTY

The U.S. economy is poised for another year of muddling through.

Most private economists forecast a modest 2% growth rate for the U.S. in 2012, with a pace subdued by housing woes, a lackluster job market, and cuts by government. Economists also warn of potential spillover from weakness abroad, including a mild recession apparently under way in Europe.

Nov. home sales up 4%, but earlier sales revised down
By Derek Kravitz, Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The number of Americans who bought previously occupied homes rose last month. But the National Association of Realtors says it overstated about 3.5 million sales during and after the Great Recession, showing the housing market remains much weaker than previously thought.
