The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has just reviewed Cheniere’s plan to expand its Corpus Christi LNG facility in Texas.
They found that the proposed expansion, which includes two new liquefaction trains, would not significantly impact the environment.
The expansion aims to add 3 million metric tons per year of LNG capacity.
Construction and operation of the project will produce emissions, but FERC staff stated they cannot determine the exact environmental impact of these emissions.
FERC is accepting public comments on this environmental assessment until July 22.
Cheniere hopes to start the project as early as 2028 and complete it by 2031.
Meanwhile, Cheniere is also working on a larger expansion, expected to start producing LNG by the end of 2024 and be fully operational by 2026.
