Où est la vérité sur la sécurité du GNL ? Pourquoi le public a-t-il une perception si erronée de la sécurité du GNL et que peut faire l'industrie ?

What is the truth on LNG safety? why does the public have such an inaccurate perception of LNG safety, and what can industry do?

Auteurs : RAJ P. K., KATULAK F. J.

Résumé

For more than 60 years, the LNG industry, worldwide, has not had a single accident that has affected or exposed the public to harm. Other industries (chemical, other fuel and energy) cannot claim such a stellar safety record; yet, there is considerable public resistance to developing new LNG import terminals. A new, real or hyped, concern on the vulnerability of LNG facilities and ships to acts of terrorism has added one more dimension to the debate. This paper discusses the possible reasons for such a negative public perception on LNG safety and its postulated hazards and what the industry can do to communicate the real comparative risks.
