Shannon LNG terminal

The Shannon LNG terminal is a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility located in County Kerry, Ireland. It aims to import LNG, which is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state for easier transport. The terminal would receive LNG ships, convert the liquid back to gas, and distribute it through pipelines. This project is intended to enhance Ireland’s energy security, diversify its energy sources, and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Although it has faced regulatory and environmental hurdles, it represents a significant step in preparing for the country’s future energy needs.
