Cheniere Corpus Christi, Texas LNG terminal gets boosted export approval from U.S. DOE
The U.S. Department of Energy said on Thursday it has approved a 12% increase in exports from Cheniere's Corpus Christi, Texas liquefied natural gas terminal.
The approval allows additional exports of up to 0.47 Bft3d of LNG to big markets in Asia and Europe, or non-Free Trade Agreement countries, as the department calls them. The expansion was approved for Trains 8 and 9 of the Corpus Christi stage three project.
"This order helps further strengthen America's LNG export capacity, delivering peace abroad and prosperity for Americans at home," said Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who was visiting the project.
Corpus Christi LNG has been operating as an export terminal since 2018, and Cheniere announced a final investment decision on Trains 8 and 9 mid last year.
Cheniere said this week it has invested $50 B in growing its two export facilities over the past decade and aims to double output to 100 MMtpy by the mid-2030s.
