President Donald Trump has expressed his backing for a major natural gas pipeline project in Alaska, bringing renewed attention to a venture that has faced challenges despite backing from state officials. The proposed 810-mile pipeline aims to transport gas from Alaska's North Slope to a port for potential export to Asian markets.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas cooled to a liquid state for transportation and storage. The Alaska project involves a pipeline from the North Slope to south-central Alaska, with a liquefaction facility in Nikiski for processing and export.
