据11月22日Gas processing报道，布朗斯维尔港希望美国联邦能源监管委员会(FERC)在其月度委员会会议上批准三个新的液化天然气项目的决定。
布朗斯维尔航海区主席约翰·里德表示:“今天的声明是使这些能源项目成为现实的又一个重要里程碑，也是申请者多年努力工作的结果。我们感谢FERC在探讨这些建议时所付出的努力，并感谢社会各界的支持。这些新能源项目反映了我们的长期战略和愿景，即通过鼓励国内和国际商业投资，推动开发，为该地区创造新的高薪就业机会，使该港口成为里约热内卢格兰德河流域经济增长的催化剂。”
德克萨斯州LNG Brownsville LLC、Annova LNG Brownsville、Rio Grande LNG LLC和Rio Bravo Pipeline Co. LLC在卡梅伦县和里奥格兰德谷的总投资为387.5亿美元，将增加数千个就业机会，带动该地区经济的显著发展。
港口总监兼首席执行官爱德华多·坎皮拉诺(Eduardo a . Campirano)表示:“布朗斯维尔港被选为这三个液化天然气项目的目的地，证明了我们港口的战略地位以及布朗斯维尔在能源行业和国际贸易中的重要作用。FERC对这些项目的支持是非常重要的，今天的批准证明了这一点。联邦委员会的评估过程确保了这些项目必须在安全、环保的设计参数范围内运行。”
下一步将由申请人做出最终投资决定(FID)，最早将在明年第一季度进行。一旦FIDs宣布，项目将正式破土动工，该地区将准备好迎接新的、多样化的就业机会。

Three new LNG projects moving forward
The Port of Brownsville has welcomed the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) decision to approve three new LNG projects during its monthly commission meeting.
“Today’s announcement is another significant milestone in making these energy projects a reality and is the result of years of hard work by the applicants,” said John Reed, Chairman of the Brownsville Navigation District. “We’d like to thank FERC for its effort and diligence in reviewing these proposals and thank our community for their support. These new energy projects reflect our long-term strategy and vision for the port to be a catalyst for economic growth in the Rio Grande Valley by encouraging domestic and international business investments and driving developments that create new good paying job opportunities for the region.”
Texas LNG Brownsville LLC, Annova LNG Brownsville, Rio Grande LNG LLC, and Rio Bravo Pipeline Co. LLC represent a total investment of US$38.75 billion in Cameron County and the Rio Grande Valley and will add thousands of job opportunities leading to significant economic progress in the region.
“The fact that the Port of Brownsville was sought out and chosen for these three LNG projects is a testament to our strategic location and Brownsville’s important role in both the energy industry and international trade,” said Eduardo A. Campirano, Port Director and CEO. “FERC’s confidence in these projects, demonstrated by today’s approval is very important. The federal commission’s evaluation process ensures that the plants must operate within the design parameters for safety and environmental protection.”
The next step in the process is final investment decisions (FID) to be made by the applicants, which would be as early as the first quarter of next year.
