Eagle LNG Partners announced its request to commence the pre-filing review process for the Jacksonville LNG project has been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The approval from FERC follows Eagle LNG’s request filed on Nov. 26, 2014.

The proposed LNG facility will serve domestic and international markets. Eagle LNG will receive and liquefy natural gas, temporarily store the produced LNG, and periodically load the product onto ocean-going vessels for use in marine fueling trade. The company is seeing increased demand for LNG to serve small scale export markets while domestic demand for LNG continues to develop.
