The United States Department of Energy issued an order granting American LNG Marketing blanket authorization to export LNG from its Hialeah facility in Medley, Florida.

Liquefied natural gas will be delivered in ISO containers and loaded onto container ships or roll-on/roll-off ocean-going carriers for export at Port Canaveral or other ports in Florida, according to the filing.

On a cumulative basis, American LNG will export up to the equivalent of 6.04 billion cubic feet of natural gas over a two-year period.

The facility, once completed, will have a total production capacity of 100,000 gallons of LNG per day or 8.26 MMcf of natural gas, and a storage capacity of approximately 270,000 gallons.

DOE previously issued two long-term authorizations to American LNG to export liquefied natural gas to free trade agreements and non-FTA countries. American LNG was authorized to export up to the equivalent of 3.02 bcf per year in each of the orders.

The company noted that the blanket authorization is to enable it to engage in short-term exports of domestically produced LNG prior and following the commencement of commercial operations. The volumes proposed for export are not additive to either of the previously granted authorizations.

American LNG is controlled by Fortress Equity Partners, a partnership sponsored by entities related to Fortress Investment Group. The company added that the Hialeah facility is owned and operated by LNG Holdings, another company controlled by FEP.

LNG Holdings contracted Chart Industries to provide its standard C100N LNG liquefaction plant for the project.
