The LNG provider can export domestically produced LNG to anywhere in the world barring regions that are prohibited by the US law or policy. Eagle Maxville has been authorized to export the gas in ISO containers manufactured at the Maxville Facility in Jacksonville.
Eagle Maxville plans to export its LNG containers to markets in the Caribbean Basin and in other parts of the region.
The company is currently building a second natural gas liquefaction which will have a peak capacity of 200,000 gallons per day. The facility, which is aimed to become operational by late-summer 2017, is being constructed near Jacksonville.
DOE said that it has cleared the authorization of Eagle Maxville in three months time having conducted a review which included a forum for seeking public opinion.
The US energy regulator with its approval to Eagle Maxville has increased the volume of sanctioned exports of natural gas in the US to 21.35Bcf/d from existing planned facilities across the states of Florida, Texas, Georgia, Maryland and Louisiana.
A statement from DOE in this connection read: “Increased natural gas production in the United States is helping to improve our energy security while stimulating economic development and job creation around the country.
“This increase in domestic natural gas production is expected to continue, with the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Short Term Energy Outlook projecting an average dry natural gas production rate of 74.1 Bcf/d in 2017, the second highest on record.”
