Liquefied Natural Gas Ltd's (ASX: LNG; OTC ADR: LNGLY) wholly-owned subsidiary, Magnolia LNG, LLC, has received the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) authorization.
The authorization is to site, construct, and operate facilities to liquefy and export domestically produced natural gas from its liquefied natural gas terminal in the Lake Charles District, State of Louisiana, U.S.
In addition, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) approved the air
permit for the Magnolia LNG.
In a related matter, FERC also authorized the Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC to install compression and other related facilities on the KMLP Pipeline, facilitating
the transportation of full feed gas volumes to the Magnolia LNG project.
Greg Vesey, LNGL managing director and chief executive officer, said"
“We are pleased to receive the FERC Order and the air permit from LDEQ. Both of these items are important milestones as we progress the Magnolia LNG project towards a final investment decision.
"We look forward to the US Department of Energy (DOE) processing Magnolia LNG’s pending application to export LNG to countries that do not have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the United States.”
Magnolia LNG proposes to construct and operate up to four liquefaction production trains, each with a capacity of 2 mtpa or greater using the company’s OSMR® patented LNG process technology.
