DOE Grants Strom Authority to Export LNG to FTA Nations
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has granted Strom, Inc. authority to export 28.21 Bcf/year of LNG over a 25-year period to nations having a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States. Strom proposes to liquefy domestically produced natural gas using “small-to-medium size modular, scalable, portable liquefaction systems” at a proposed facility at Crystal River, Fla., and export the LNG in ISO containers via ocean-going vessels.
