It takes up the entire cubic footage capacity of this art museum that started off as an exposition hall for world trade fairs early in the 20th century.
What's more, even before Sempra began building the plant, it hedged away all its project risk by leasing out half the 1 billion cubic feet per day of capacity for 20 years to Shell.
By 2030, the U.S. and Canada will need approximately 29, 000 to 62, 000 miles of additional natural gas pipelines as well as 370 billion to 600 billion cubic feet of additional storage capacity, says the study.
As a result, the 7-AS is being followed by a larger machine, the Wendelstein 7-X, which is being built (see photograph on previous page) by the Max Planck Institute in Greifswald and has a capacity of 30 cubic metres.
The additional capacity of 1 billion cubic feet per day will help Chesapeake efficiently transport the natural gas produce from the shale deposits in Utica to consumers in the region.
The In Amenas plant - a joint venture between state-owned oil firm Sonatrach, UK multinational BP and Norway's Statoil - has been operating since 2006 and has a production capacity of nine billion cubic meters per year.
They total over 8 TCF (trillion cubic feet) of annual gas export capacity.

The Wendelstein 7-AS, a tiddler with a fuel capacity of but a single cubic metre, was built by the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics at Garching, Germany, and operated from 1988 to 2002.
At the LNG terminal Sempra is building its dock, pipelines and vaporization equipment big enough to expand capacity to 2.5 billion cubic feet a day.
All three companies under the Energy Transfer Equity umbrella will own more than 44, 000 miles of natural gas pipelines with transportation capacity of approximately 30.7 billion cubic feet per day.
