It will also use cryogenic equipment manufacturer Chart Industries’ IPSMR technology and liquefaction equipment technology.
The proposed facility will be owned and operated by Eagle LNG, a consortium comprising Clean Energy, GE Ventures, GE Energy Financial Services and Ferus Natural Gas Fuels.
Eagle LNG CEO Dick Brown said: “Eagle LNG is experiencing a growing demand for LNG to serve small-scale export markets, while domestic demand for fuel-grade LNG continues to increase.
“We continue to build out LNG infrastructure across the country to meet these needs. Partnering with Matrix Service and Chart Industries provides service from concept through completion.”

By GlobalDataThe proposed project plans to supply LNG to Caribbean and other overseas destinations. It will also provide fuel to ships cruising along the East Coast and other domestic commercial vehicles, making it the first terminal in the US to provide fuel for cargo ships.
Natural gas will be received and liquefied at the facility while LNG will be temporarily stored before being transported by ocean-going vessels, trucks and containers for export purposes and marine bunkering trade.
The plant will continue exporting LNG in ISO containers for Caribbean markets from Eagle LNG’s Maxville LNG Facility in Florida.
Matrix Service CEO John R Hewitt said: “Following the recent successful completion of our work at Eagle LNG’s Maxville LNG facility, we look forward to helping Eagle LNG achieve its objectives by providing our expertise in cryogenic storage and complete balance of plant, including marine structures, to deliver this next project safely, with the highest quality, on time and on budget.”
Eagle LNG received FERC authorisation and Department of Energy LNG export approvals for the LNG project late last year.
