WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 10th December, 2018) The United States' export capacity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) will more than double by the end of 2019 to approximately 8.9 billion cubic feet per day, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a press release on Monday.
"EIA projects that US liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity will reach 8.9 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) by the end of 2019, making it the third largest in the world behind Australia and Qatar," the release said. "Currently, US LNG export capacity stands at 3.6 Bcf/d, and it is expected to end the year at 4.
9 Bcf/d as two new liquefaction units (called trains) become operational."
LNG production is expected to start at two more export facilities that are being commissioned in the US states of Louisiana and Texas, and a facility in the state of Georgia will be fully operational by the end of 2019, the release said.
Four additional export terminals have been approved by the US Federal Regulatory Commission and the Energy Department, with final investment decisions expected in the coming months, the release added.
