Kinder Morgan to build $1.7 billion Texas LNG pipeline

Pass LNG expects to launch the first train at the end of this year.

World’s largest LNG exporter

Kinder Morgan’s announcement comes just days after US President Donald Trump lifted a moratorium by the former Biden administration on non-FTA LNG export permits.

The US is the world’s largest exporter of LNG.

Currently, the US exports LNG via Cheniere’s Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi terminals, Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass facility, Sempra Infrastructure’s Cameron LNG terminal, the Freeport LNG facility, the Cove Point LNG facility, and the Elba Island terminal.

In addition, Venture Global sent the first commissioning cargo from its Plaquemines plant last month, while Cheniere also started producing LNG at the first train of the Corpus Christi Stage 3 expansion project in Texas.
