Cheniere reaches FID on 5 Mt/year expansion of LNG project in the US

The US company Cheniere has reached an FID on the construction of the 5 Mt/year Corpus Christi Midscale Trains 8 & 9 and Debottlenecking Project. The CCL Midscale Trains 8 & 9 is being built adjacent to the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project and consists of two midscale trains with an expected total liquefaction capacity of over 3 Mt/year of LNG and other debottlenecking infrastructure (+2 Mt/year). Once completed, the project should increase the capacity of the Corpus Christi LNG terminal to over 30 Mt/year before 2030.

The Dallas Morning News

This #canarymedia piece on the wild west of #LNG certification schemes is fantastic reporting.

Our research makes a cameo. In 2022, #greenpeace and Oil Change Intl published a report -- and an "epistolary duel" in an ACS journal -- over issues with #methane and #Cheniere's cargo emissions tags.

Kudos to the reporter for going deep on a complex topic, and for getting a ton of interesting quotes on the record.

Inside the high-dollar race to sell natural gas as low-carbon
