Distrigas

Distrigas refers primarily to Distrigas of Massachusetts, a company involved in the importation and distribution of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the United States. Founded in 1968, it became notable for being the first company to import LNG into the United States on a commercial scale. The initial import terminal was located in Everett, Massachusetts, and it played a pioneering role in establishing the infrastructure and regulations surrounding LNG importation and distribution in the country.

Distrigas's operations contributed to diversifying the energy supply of the northeastern United States. Over time, the company has changed ownership, and its operations have been adapted to the evolving energy market. The Everett terminal remains a significant LNG import facility. The term "Distrigas" can also, in a general sense, refer to the business of LNG distribution, particularly stemming from its early prominence in the field. Its legacy lies in its early adoption and development of LNG importation as a viable energy source.
