The Phase I project will comprise two natural gas liquefaction trains, up to three LNG storage tanks, and associated facilities.
Under the 20-year agreement, Ineos will receive approximately 1.4Mtpa of LNG from the Phase 1 Port Arthur LNG project.
Ineos also signed non-binding heads of agreement (HOA) with Sempra for the potential purchase of an additional 0.2Mtpa from the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project, which is also in the development phase.
Ineos Energy CEO David Bucknall said: “This agreement is a critical part of our new global LNG supply chain that will enable us to deliver cleaner and reliable energy to our businesses and customers.”
