Main Pass Energy Hub, LLC (Main Pass) filed an application with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for authority to export over a thirty-year period up to 24 million metric tons per year (approximately 3.22 Bcf/day) of domestically produced LNG from its deepwater port located offshore Louisiana. Main Pass initially proposes to export LNG to nations having a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States and will file a separate application to export LNG to non-FTA countries. Main Pass’s application can be found on DOE’s website under Docket No. 12-114-LNG.
