New Fortress Energy Files Permit Application to Deploy its Fast LNG Solution in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico
New Fortress Energy (NASDAQ: NFE) announced plans for a new offshore LNG liquefaction terminal off the Louisiana coast, capable of exporting around 145 billion cubic feet of natural gas annually, equating to approximately 2.8 MTPA of LNG. The project aims to support U.S. commitments to increase LNG exports to the EU and enhance energy security. NFE targets operations by Q1 2023, pending regulatory approvals, and emphasizes its innovative Fast LNG technology for cost-effective deployment.
- New offshore LNG terminal with 2.8 MTPA capacity planned off Louisiana, enhancing U.S. LNG exports to the EU.
- Utilization of advanced Fast LNG technology promises lower costs and faster deployment timelines.
- The project supports U.S. efforts to bolster energy security for European allies.
- Project operations depend on timely receipt of regulatory approvals, which may be uncertain.
- Potential risks associated with the development and implementation of new technologies.
-
2.8 MTPA of new LNG liquefaction capacity (equates to >
25% of U.S.’ targeted increase in LNG volumes to the EU in 2022) - 1Q23 in-service target, subject to receipt of all permitting and regulatory approvals
“This announcement demonstrates the flexibility, efficiency and significance of our innovative Fast LNG solution to bring more affordable, reliable and cleaner fuels to customers around the world,” said
The Project will be located in federal waters approximately 16 miles off the southeast coast of
NFE’s Fast LNG liquefaction design pairs the latest advancements in modular, midsize liquefaction technology with jack up rigs or similar offshore infrastructure to enable a much lower cost and faster deployment schedule than today’s floating liquefaction vessels and onshore liquefaction terminals.
