Cameron LNG is developing natural gas liquefaction and export facilities next
to its existing liquefied natural gas (LNG) receipt terminal in Hackberry,
Louisiana. It has obtained approval from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
to export up to 12 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), or approximately 1.7 billion
cubic feet (bcf) per day, of LNG to all Free Trade Agreement (FTA) countries, and
on September 2014 received final authorization to export to non-FTA countries.
Cameron LNG received notice in April 2014 that the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) issued the final environmental impact statement (EIS) to
construct and operate the liquefaction facilities, and in June 2014, FERC issued
authorization to site, construct and operate the project.
