Jacksonville LNG plans in the making
US joint venture by Ferus Natural Gas Fuels and GE Ventures, Eagle LNG Partners, is looking to build an LNG facility in North Jacksonville that will serve both domestic and international markets.
The proposed facility will receive and chill natural gas into a liquid state, temporarily store the produced LNG, and periodically load LNG onto ocean-going vessels for export to countries currently using heavy fuel oil or diesel for power generation, and for use in domestic marine fueling.
This comes as the company is seeing an increase in demand for LNG to serve small scale export markets while domestic demand for LNG to displace diesel and other petroleum fuels continues to develop.
The project will occupy a 197 acre parcel that is zoned for industrial activity, in an area that currently hosts other bulk fuel terminals.
