Energy company NextDecade Corp. will build the first three liquefaction trains at its proposed Rio Grande liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at the Port of Brownsville, Texas, port officials announced last week.
At 984 acres, it is the largest proposed LNG export facility in the United States, port officials said in a press release. Once fully operational, the terminal will consist of five trains with the capacity to export nearly 30 million tons per year.
"The Rio Grande LNG facility will be a true game-changer for our community, representing a generational achievement. Its impact will be enormous, significantly benefiting the energy industry of Texas," said Port Director and CEO Eduardo Campirano.
The project's first phase will cost $18.4 billion.
The port is served by Canadian Pacific Kansas City, Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF Railway Co. The OmniTRAX-owned Brownsville & Rio Grande International Railway provides on-port rail service.
