Presentation Transcript

  1. Energy Beyond Hydropower • Atlas Chapter 13 • Figure 13.1 – Energy Consumption • No PNW sources of natural gas or crude oil • Refining crude oil – 4 north Puget Sound refineries; historic use of Canadian crude; imported crude (Alaska, Far East) • Changing supply situation, Alaskan Oil

  2. Prudoe Bay Trans- Alaska Pipeline West coast oil movements, Canadian production, Alberta, McKenzie River Delta Natural gas from North Slope

  3. A 2011 document from the State of Alaska

  4. Alaska Natural Gas TransCanadaPipelineProposalCanadian portion currently not being developed

  5. Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline • A proposed joint project of ExxonMobil, BP, ConocoPhillips, TransCanada Corp. • Agreements signed in January 2014 now before Alaska Legislature for approval • State of Alaska could be an equity partner • Would lead to an LNG facility for export • Would require Federal approval for export • Possible future link into the proposed TransCanada pipeline into Canada

  6. Rising Levels of LNG Shipments

  7. TransCanada Pipelines

  8. Recent Growth In U.S. Oil Output • The growth of oil shale output via “fracking” – North Dakota, Montana • Movement of some of this oil to Washington refineries on the B-N route • Environmental concerns, increased traffic, increased competition for movement of other commodities • Coal export terminal proposals

  9. Other Energy Sources • Wind • Solar • Natural Gas generators • Ongoing Northwest Power & Conservation Council Assessments

  10. A wind-farm like being built very rapidly in the Northwest, but this picture was taken near Jaisilimar India. could be Vantage
