On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami devastated a large portion of Japan’s eastern coastline killing nearly 16,000 people and causing infrastructure damage estimated at more than $225 billion. The consequent nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Power Plant ultimately resulted in the closure of all of Japan’s nearly 50 nuclear reactors.
In a move to compensate for lost electric generation capacity, Japanese imports of LNG jumped nearly 23% to 86.7 million mt during the 2012-2013 fiscal year, up from imports that totaled 70.6 million mt during the fiscal year just prior to the disaster.
The precipitous jump in demand for LNG from post-Fukushima Japan changed the global gas market irrevocably.

Navegaron en un pequeño barco pesquero llamado “Henry David T.” hasta un lugar de la costa de Massachusetts, cerca de la planta Brayton Point, una enorme central eléctrica de carbón construida en 1963 que es la mayor fuente

La Escuela de Negocios de las Islas y la Cámara de Comercio tinerfeña ofrecen por primera vez un curso sobre la seguridad en las plataformas petroleras

El puerto de Santa Cruz de Tenerife ofrece desde no hace mucho tiempo un skyline muy diferente al que los chicharreros estaban acostumbrados; un horizonte en el que impresionantes estructuras de hierro recortan el cielo y, de forma indefectible, han conseguido hacerse un hueco fijo para salir en la foto.
