ENERGY about in the industry . According to CEO Greg Michaels , the company is “ currently working on crafting LNG supply deals based on exotic indexes , something no one else has been able to achieve before .”

Multiple natural gas pipelines are located close to the 246-acre project site , which will allow natural gas to be collected and treated effectively in order to go through the liquefaction process where the gas will be cooled to -162 ° C ( −260 ° F ) degrees . The LNG will then be placed within three onsite storage tanks situated alongside three LNG trains incorporated into the SCT & E LNG development . The storage tanks will hold around 160,000 cubic meters of LNG supply each , which will cater to the increasing demand for clean burning fuels , and can be utilized for a multitude of needs , from commercial and residential use , to industrial and transportation services .
While innovation is a key distinguisher of SCT & E LNG ’ s business philosophy , pursuing “ proven ” strategies , technologies and locations is also a fundamental
Strategically located on Louisiana ’ s Calcasieu Ship Channel , the future SCT & ELNG facility sits approximately 2.5 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico . The project site is located near the heart of the U . S . natural gas intrastate and interstate pipeline systems , just miles from major gas pipeline interconnections . SCT & E LNG has received Order No . 3566 from the Department of Energy granting them a 30- year authorization to export approximately 1.60 billion cubic feet per day ( bcf / d ) of natural gas , or approximately twelve ( 12 ) million tons per annum ( mtpa ) of domestically produced LNG , by vessel from the proposed SCT & E LNG Export Terminal to countries with whom the United States has a Free Trade Agreement . SCT & E LNG also has a non- FTA application on file with the DOE that is pending approval .
