The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approvedconstruction of a fourth liquefaction train at Freeport LNG’s $14 billionLNG export terminal in Freeport, Texas. Freeport LNG filed its FERC application in June 2017. The liquefaction unit, which is expected to become operational in 2023, will be similar to three others in various stages of completion at the Freeport site, and construction will include associated pipelines, storage vessels and ancillary facilities. Train 1 should start operations later this year, with Train 2 and Train 3 expected to come online in the middle of 2020. Freeport LNG estimated that Train 4 should generate thousands of construction jobs during the four- to five-year construction phase. In its announcement, FERC said this is the fourth LNG project it has approved this year. The others are Venture Global LNG’s $5 billion terminal in Calcasieu Pass, Louisiana; the $27 billion Tellurian Driftwood LNG project on the Calcasieu River near Lake Charles, Louisiana; and San Diego-based Sempra Energy’s $9 billion LNG plant in Port Arthur, Texas READ HERE
