The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Cameron Liquefaction Project, proposed by Cameron LNG and Cameron Interstate Pipeline. The Project is proposed in Cameron, Calcasieu, and Beauregard Parishes, Louisiana, and would provide Cameron the capability to export about 12 Mt/year of LNG. Cameron would construct three separate liquefaction trains and one 160,000 m3, full-containment LNG storage tank. FERC’s environmental staff concludes that construction and operation of the project would result in some adverse environmental impacts. However, these impacts would be reduced to less-than-significant levels with the implementation of Cameron’s proposed minimization and mitigation measures and the additional measures recommended by the FERC staff in the EIS.
To begin construction, Cameron LNG will require a final order from FERC and a final investment decision. The project is not expected before 2018.
