Scheduled to commence commercial operations in 2028, the Texas LNG project aims to be among the world’s lowest-emitting LNG export sites by using electric motor drives.
Glenfarne Group CEO and founder Brendan Duval said: “Over the last 14 months, the Texas LNG project team has been embedded with Kiewit to complete the pre-FID engineering required for the project to begin execution.
“This process confirmed that Kiewit’s capabilities, as well as their best-in-class execution and implementation expertise on the US Gulf Coast, align with Glenfarne’s vision for Texas LNG.
“Together with Kiewit, we will construct a world-class LNG facility that will make the Rio Grande Valley region proud and provide high-paying, quality jobs and technical training for the area for decades to come.”
In January 2026, Texas LNG Brownsville secured a 20-year deal with RWE Supply & Trading for the supply of 1mtpa of LNG. This equates to nearly 13 cargoes of LNG and 1.4 billion cubic metres per year of natural gas, respectively.
A month before that, Texas LNG finalised a 20-year sales and purchase agreement with Macquarie Energy, a unit of Macquarie Group, for the supply of 500,000 tonnes per annum of LNG.
