More than 300 community, business and international leaders, along with federal, state and local elected officials, took part in an Oct. 23 groundbreaking ceremony for the $10 billion liquefaction export project at Cameron LNG in Hackberry, La, according to a statement from Cameron LNG Holdings. The project is a joint venture between affiliates of Sempra Energy, GDF SUEZ SA, Mitsui & Co. Ltd. and Japan LNG Investment LLC, a joint venture formed by subsidiaries of Mitsubishi Corp. and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha.
The project will be made up of three-train liquefaction facilities with the ability to export up to 12 million tons per year of LNG, or about 1.7 billion cubic feet per day. The three trains are all expected to enter service during 2018.
The Cameron LNG liquefaction project received final approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in June, and received the U.S. Department of Energy’s final authorization to export to non-free trade agreement countries in September.
