Air Flow wins DOE non-FTA LNG export approval

Air Flow North America has won an approval from the Department of Energy to export 22,000 gallons of LNG per day to nations which do not have a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the U.S.

According to Air Flow, this volume is equivalent to approximately 0.67 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas, or 0.002 Bcf per day (Bcf/d).

Air Flow will transport the chilled gas in ISO containers by truck from an existing LNG production facility in Willis, Texas owned by Clean Energy Fuels.

The company is authorized to export LNG over a period of 25 years to any country located within Central America, South America or the Caribbean or Africa, which has, or in the future develops, the capacity to import LNG via ocean-going carriers, and with which trade is not prohibited by United States law or policy, stands in the DOE filing.
