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 $500 million.

ERG pulled out of the project in July 2012. In December 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.
