The proposed LNG facility in Jacksonville, FL will serve both domestic and international markets. Eagle LNG will receive and liquefy natural gas, temporarily store the produced LNG, and periodically load LNG onto ocean-going vessels for export to countries currently using heavy fuel oil or diesel for power generation, as well as for use in domestic marine fueling. The company is seeing increased demand for LNG to serve small scale export markets, while domestic demand for LNG, to displace diesel and other petroleum fuels, continues to develop.
The project will occupy a 194-acre parcel that is zoned for industrial activity, in an area that currently hosts other bulk fuel terminals. The proposed facility will receive natural gas transported by a local utility through existing and expanded pipelines located adjacent to the Jacksonville project site. Eagle LNG will procure electric energy from Jacksonville Electric Authority. The project will have a processing capacity of 1.5 million gallons of LNG per day, with on-site LNG storage of 12 million gallons. Eagle LNG submitted a formal filing for the project to FERC during Q1 2017. The construction is preliminarily scheduled for Q1 2018, and start-up and commissioning in Q3 2019.
