CX-270974: Navergy Infrastructure Partners LLC

NAVERGY INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS LLC (Navergy) filed an application (Application) with the Department of Energy's (DOE) Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office (HGEO) on February 9, 2026, and  Navergy filed a supplement to the Application on April 28, 2026.  Navergy states that its proposed exports qualify as "small-scale natural gas exports" under DOE’s regulations at 10 CFR 590.102(p) and 590.208(a).  Specifically, Navergy seeks long-term authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a volume equivalent to 51.75 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year of natural gas (0.14 Bcf per day), to any country with which the United States does not have a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas, and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy (non-FTA countries).  Navergy intends to export LNG loaded into approved International Organization for Standardization (ISO) containers and transported to ports, where the ISO containers would be loaded onto ocean-going container vessels for export.  DOE's proposed action is to authorize the exports described in the Application, as supplemented, as small-scale natural gas exports.  If granted, the authorization would permit the requested exports of LNG sourced from the Facilities, in ISO containers transported by barge or by road to the corresponding Ports and loaded onto ocean-going container vessels, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the DOE order.
