Green groups challenge ESRI research over liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects

A number of environmental groups have challenged research by the Economic and Social Research Institute that Irish consumers would pay significantly less for their gas if liquefied natural gas, or LNG, facilities were given the go-ahead.

The research showed that combining imports of LNG at a proposed terminal on the Shannon estuary with a storage facility at Islandmagee, in Co Antrim, would lower household gas bills.
