The University of New Orleans (UNOTI) is conducting several phases of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) research concerning the US shale revolution and its effect on the energy sector and various transportation systems. UNOTI initially assisted the Port of New Orleans with LNG bunkering research. Phase II continued with LNG energy policy and export analysis. Phase III is currently analyzing: (1) challenges to US LNG exportation, (2) value added alternative LNG uses such as marine fuel, and (3) potential effects of the shale oil and gas industry on US transportation systems.
