Corpus Christi LNG export facility to ship its first load
Fuel Fix:
Houston-based Cheniere Energy is expected to export its first shipment of liquefied natural gas from its complex near Corpus Christi Thursday afternoon.This is another example of the US "energy dominance" policy under the Trump administration. The anti-energy left with its "keep it in the ground" policies appears oblivious to the reduction in CO2 as a result of using LNG. It is a much more dependable fuel than alternative energy and arguably reduces global warming more. It is also safer for wildlife such as birds.
Crews wrapped up construction for Train 1 at the company's Corpus Christi LNG export terminal this summer and spent the past five months commissioning the equipment.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott and Cheniere CEO Jack Fusco will be on hand to watch an LNG tanker named Golar Tundra to leave with the first shipment from the Port of Corpus Christi facility.
Under the company's business model, the South Texas facility will receive natural gas from the Eagle Ford Shale, Permian Basin and other sources via pipeline, liquefy the gas and use tankers to export it to customers in Europe, Latin America and Asia.
