Texas LNG receives TCEQ permit for export terminal

May 14, 2020 by PBOG

Houston-based Texas LNG received a state permit last week for its proposed export terminal at Port of Brownsville. Houston Chronicle said the permit received May 6 from Texas Commission on Environmental Quality had “stricter air pollution standards than the company had previously proposed.” The permit authorizes Texas LNG to produce up to four million metric tons of LNG per year, “but with tougher rules for the project’s hot oil heaters.” The Chronicle said Texas LNG, which launched its effort for the permit more than five years ago, agreed to the tougher standards. Texas LNG is the smallest of three LNG export terminals proposed for Port of Brownsville with a total investment of $40 billion.
Langtry Meyer, COO, said the Texas LNG plant will be “one of the world’s cleanest LNG liquefaction plants. By delivering clean, safe, low-cost Texas natural gas energy to our customers around the world, Texas LNG can contribute to a cleaner global environment.”

    It’s amazing that it takes the TCEQ 5 years to issue a permit for a project like this that creates many jobs for Texans! As for stricter regulations, they’re why our fuel is so high now!! We need less regulation, reduce the redundancy, get down to regulations that do what’s needed and do away with all the regulations that are there just to pacify environmental groups and add cost to the end product. We need more of these type plants and pipelines to bring the gas to them.
