Serving Ventura County & California
"Most Appropriate" Area According to the California Coastal Commission
After in-depth research and analysis, Clearwater Port decided on Platform Grace, 12.6 miles off-shore from Oxnard, as the best location. It allows use of an existing infrastructure to preserve the ocean horizon, minimize environmental impacts and provide consumers with affordable natural gas sooner than other proposals. It provides safe access for moving natural gas directly into the existing SoCalGas distribution system, enabling it to reach consumers in Ventura County and Southern California. Additionally, it's in the same area that the California Coastal Commission concluded – in its exhaustive 1978 study of potential locations - is the "most appropriate siting area for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal off the shoreline of California."
Help Avoid Another Energy Crisis
A looming shortage of natural gas could threaten Ventura County and California with another energy crisis. To help solve this problem, Clearwater Port will safely supply affordable, clean-burning natural gas through a state-of-the-art natural gas receiving terminal 12.6 miles off-shore. Clearwater Port will help protect local consumers against the high prices of another energy crisis - and do it sooner than any other proposals – while preserving the California coastal experience and helping spur our transition to alternative fuels of today and to the renewable technologies of the future.
Faster Energy Relief for California
By efficiently using existing infrastructure, Clearwater Port can begin delivering relief to California consumers as early as 2009 – sooner than other proposals.
Preserving California's Coastal Experience
Clearwater Port won't change the ocean horizon or the beach – but will be safe, environmentally sound and efficiently use existing infrastructure and state-of-the-art technology to minimize environmental impacts.
Cleaner Air…Spurring the Transition to
Alternative Vehicles
More natural gas supply allows for more clean-burning alternative vehicles on the roads – which would reduce the air pollution that fouls the air we breathe.
Transform an Oil Production Platform.To Bring in Clean Natural Gas
To increase supplies of clean-burning natural gas, Clearwater Port will transform an existing oil production platform into a safe, state-of-the-art natural gas receiving terminal for clean-burning natural gas.
