Description
The second phase of the Rio Grande LNG project.
Rio Grande LNG is situated on a 984-acre site on the banks of an uncongested deepwater channel. Rio Grande LNG plans to offer CO2 emissions reduction of more than 90 percent via planned carbon capture and storage – capturing and permanently storing more than 5 million metric tonnes of CO2 per year.
In July 2023, NextDecade Corporation announced a final investment decision to construct the first three liquefaction trains (Phase 1) at the facility. As part of the transaction, the parties involved each have options to invest in Train 4 and Train 5 equity.
In August 2024, the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated the FERC’s certificate for part 4 and 5 of the project, requiring the developer to seek a new permit.
