The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued an order authorizing Cameron LNG to export over 20 years an additional 2.95 million metric tonnes per annum (mtpa) (159 Bcf) of LNG from its proposed LNG export terminal in Hackberry, La. to nations having a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States. The incremental export volume is additive to Cameron LNG’s existing FTA export authorization of 12 mtpa (620 Bcf), bringing Cameron LNG’s total authorized FTA LNG export volume to 14.95 mtpa (772 Bcf), which matches the total LNG production capacity of the terminal approved by FERC.
