Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based G2 LNG on Monday announced plans to build an $11 billion LNG export facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Via the Associated Press, the company still needs key approvals from the Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to proceed with construction.
G2 Chairman and former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer said his firm is in talks to sell natural gas to potential customers in Asia, Europe, India and the Caribbean. The facility would export 14 million metric tons per year of LNG. G2 hopes to begin construction in 2017.
Southwest Louisiana is home to two LNG export facilities that are approved and under construction — Cheniere Energy’s Sabine Pass LNG in Sabine and Sempra Energy’s Cameron LNG in Hackberry.
