Background

Priolo Augusta LNG Terminal is a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification terminal in Sicily, Italy. Shell and ERG announced their plans to build the project in 2005. It would cost around €400 million.[6][7] ERG pulled out of the project in July 2012.[8] In November 2012, Shell announced that it was also pulling out of the project, leaving it with no developer. The regional government had apparently opposed the proposal.[9][10]
