This is the World Industrial News for Friday, April seventeenth. Brought to you by Industrial Info Resources of Sugarland, Texas.
How did the Trump administration’s permits impact Enbridge’s cross‑border pipeline operations?
The Trump administration granted a series of presidential permits Wednesday to enbridge Energy and its subsidiary, Backen Pipeline Company, to continue operating pipeline facilities along the U.S.-Canadian border in North Dakota and Michigan. A White House also permitted Back and Pipeline to perform any needed construction, including new pipelines, at its facilities in Burke County, North Dakota, which sits on the border. The permits allow Canadian-based Enbridge to maintain its cross-border energy supply chain between the US and Canada. According to Industrial Info Resources data, Enbridge and its subsidiary are proposing more than $620 million worth of projects in Michigan and North Dakota.
Which U.S. construction‑equipment projects are driving over $1.2 billion in activity?
According to Industrial Info Resources data, there are more than 30 active projects involving US construction equipment manufacturing, valued at more than $1.2 billion, that are in various stages of development from planning through on-the-ground construction. Iceingwoman, I Balbang, and Rwandamor's Abbeys are presently under construction. Thanks to a single large project from equipment maker JCB, Texas leads the US in terms of spending in this sector. The amount of feed gas supporting US exports of liquefied natural gas was close to record levels on Thursday, levels that authorities at the port of Corpus Christi said led to a new high in quarterly deliveries.
Why are LNG feed‑gas volumes reaching near‑record levels at Corpus Christi?
Industrial Info Resources is tracking the Placa Mins and Golden Pass facilities, which support LNG exports. As a consequence of the supply side pressures stemming from the war, retail gasoline prices in the US economy are creating major headwinds, data showed.

According to Industrial Info Resources data, there are more than 250 operational refining related facilities in the U.S. For details on these and other breaking news, read the full stories at industrialinfo.com.
