Two More DOE LNG Export Applications Filed
Gasfin Development USA, LLC (Gasfin) has filed an application with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to export over a 25-year term up to 74 Bcf/year of LNG (approximately 1.5 million metric tons) to nations having a Free Trade Agreement with the United States. Gasfin would export the LNG from the proposed Gasfin LNG Export Project, a mid-scale natural gas liquefaction and LNG export terminal to be located along the Calcasieu River in Cameron Parish, La.
Trunkline LNG Export, LLC (TLNG Export) filed an application with DOE to export, on its own behalf and also as agent for third parties, over a 25-year period up to 15 million metric tons of LNG per year from the Trunkline LNG Company, LLC terminal located at Lake Charles, La. TLNG Export states that it is not seeking to export any additional volumes of LNG from the Lake Charles facility than those proposed by Lake Charles Exports, LLC in DOE/FE Docket No. 11-59-LNG. TLNG Export is seeking authority to export LNG both to nations that have a Free Trade Agreement and those nations that do not have a Free Trade Agreement with the United States.
