(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Construction at Cheniere Energy Inc's LNG terminal in this aerial photograph taken in Sabine Pass, Louisiana. Cheniere Energy, the developer of the first US liquefied natural gas export terminal in decades, received authorisation to build a second one. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said it will allow Cheniere to build an LNG plant and pipeline in Corpus Christi, Texas, according to a filing yesterday.
The permit paves the away for the US Department of Energy to consider if the project can ship LNG to countries with which the US doesn't have a free trade agreement. The Corpus Christi terminal would have the capability to liquefy and ship as much as 15mn metric tonnes of LNG a year, according to the filing.
Cheniere's current plans are for a facility with the capacity to ship 13.5mn metric tonnes per year on more than 1,000 acres in Corpus Christi.
