Jan 3 (LNGJ) - The US Elba Island LNG export plant near Savannah in Georgia developed by pipeline company Kinder Morgan has had its request granted by the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to introduce feed-gas into the fifth liquefaction Train at the 10-Train facility.
“This approval is based on FERC staff inspections of the applicable facilities and review of the information filed through December 23, 2019, and subsequent discussions,” said the FERC. Elba Island has nameplate output of 2.5 million tonnes per annum and is the smallest of the six US export plants currently on stream. The project is using Royal Dutch Shell's Movable Modular Liquefaction System. According to the FERC-approved schedule, Trains 1-6 at Elba Island are all entering service by early January followed by Trains 7-10 .
