The Department of Energy (DOE) received an application from American LNG Marketing LLC in March seeking authorization to export liquefied natural gas (LNG). The application was published today in the Federal Register.
New York-based American LNG wants to export up to 6.04 billion cubic feet (Bcf) over a two-year period beginning this month. The LNG would be exported from a natural gas liquefaction facility located near Medley, Fla., to any country with the capacity to import LNG in approved ISO containers on containerships or roll-on/roll-off ships, and as long as trade is not prohibited with that country by U.S. law or policy.
To date, American LNG has been granted multicontract authorizations for 20-year terms from the DOE to export 3.02 Bcf of LNG per year from its Hialeah facility. Comments on the application must be received by June 20.
