The United States Department of Energy granted Floridian Natural Gas Storage Company permission to export LNG from its proposed facility in Martin County, Florida.
Floridian was granted a 20-year authorization to export liquefied natural gas in ISO containers in a volume up to the equivalent of 14.6 bcf/y of natural gas to non-free trade agreement countries, less the portion of that volume that may be under firm contract directly or indirectly to Carib Energy, DOE’s order reveals.
Floridian proposes to build a 1 Bcf storage tank, a vaporization system sized for 100 mcf/d, and the dual two-bay truck loading station. The company further states that, although it is certificated to construct two 25 mcf/d liquefaction trains during Phase 1, it plans initially to construct only one train.
Under normal operating conditions, approximately 48 trucks could be loaded and dispatched from the facility in one day, which correlates to the maximum daily sendout capacity of LNG.
The ISO containers will be delivered by truck to Florida’s container terminals where they will be loaded to oceangoing vessels and shipped to final destination.
