Freeport LNG Capacity Amendment Project
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) prepared an EA that assesses the potential environmental impacts of a proposal requesting approval for an increase in the authorized maximum LNG production capacity of Trains 1 through 3 at the Freeport LNG Terminal from 782 billion cubic feet per year (bcf/y) to approximately 870 bcf/y. DOE, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, has an obligation under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act to authorize the import and export of natural gas, including LNG, unless it finds that the import or export is not consistent with the public interest.
