Contributing to a Stable Supply of Energy to Japan and Reducing CO2 Emissions

This Engineering, Procurement and Construction project was to convert an existing LNG receiving terminal in Freeport, Texas, USA to a new LNG liquefaction facility with a production capacity of 13.9 mtpa (3 x 4.64 mtpa trains). 

The project was successfully completed in 2020, overcoming challenges such as unprecedented heavy rainfall, Hurricane Harvey and a shortage of skilled workers.

The importance of ‘cleaner’ LNG to reduce CO2 emissions is expected to increase along with the global drive towards achieving carbon neutrality and the Freeport LNG plant reduces CO2 emissions during operation by 48%. through the use of electric motor drives (E-Drive) in the cooling system in lieu of conventional gas turbine drivers.

The LNG produced is provided to Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. and JERA Co., Inc and this is the first project to export LNG from mainland USA to Japan under a long-term agreement, contributing to a stable supply of energy to Japan supporting Japan's energy policy.
