The first liquefaction train of the Cameron LNG export project in Hackberry, Louisiana (United States) has started to produce LNG, reaching an important milestone for the project. The US$10bn Phase 1 of the Cameron LNG export project will include three trains of 4.5 Mt/year each (total of 13.5 Mt/year), with trains 2 and 3 set to be operational in late 2019 and mid-2020, respectively. The Phase 2 has been authorized by the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and will include two additional liquefaction trains (trains 4 and 5 rated 4.5 Mt/year each) and up to two additional LNG storage tanks.
The project is operated by Cameron LNG, a company jointly owned by affiliates of Sempra LNG (50.2%), Total (16.6%), Mitsui (16.6%) along with Japan LNG Investment company (16.6%), jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK).
