FERC approves small Eagle LNG export facility in Florida

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a certificate order Sept. 19 that conditionally authorized Eagle LNG Partners to build and operate a small LNG export terminal in Jacksonville, Fla., designed to serve the maritime industry and Caribbean natural gas demand.

FERC had not published the order at the time of publication. The agency said in an emailed statement that it could not share more details on orders that are not yet available in its library.

The 1 million-tonne-per-annum LNG export facility and terminal will receive natural gas from Peoples Gas System. Eagle LNG will liquefy the gas, store it and transfer it into LNG carriers for export to foreign markets, such as Caribbean countries that have constrained gas delivery options. The total project capacity will allow the company to liquefy approximately 132 million standard cubic feet per day of gas for export.

The LNG produced from the facility will also be used for LNG vehicle fueling stations in Florida and other Southeast states.

The proposed Eagle LNG Jacksonville project, located on the St. Johns River, will include three liquefaction trains and one LNG storage tank as well as a marine load-out facility and dock that could accommodate small to midsize vessels and bunkering barges. Eagle LNG's product would be shipped in containers by truck, rail or ship, unlike larger LNG terminals that load liquefied gas into massive tankers designed to carry the supercooled fuel.

The developer announced it had applied for the project with FERC in January 2017. On April 12, the commission staff issued a positive environmental review. (FERC docket CP17-41)
