Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC, CCL Midscale 8–9, LLC, and Cheniere Marketing, LLC (collectively, CCL) jointly filed an application (Application) with the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) (now known as the Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office (HGEO)) on April 6, 2023. The Application was submitted pursuant to section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 10 CFR Part 590 of DOE's regulations.
In the Application, CCL seeks long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a volume equivalent to approximately 170 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas (approximately 0.47 Bcf per day). CCL requests authorization to export the LNG by vessel from the proposed Corpus Christi Liquefaction Midscale Trains 8 and 9 Project (Project), to be located at and adjacent to the existing Corpus Christi LNG Terminal (CCL Terminal) in San Patricio and Nueces Counties, Texas. DOE's proposed action is to issue a final order authorizing the exports described in the Application if DOE determines that such exports are not inconsistent with the public interest.
