The U.S. Department of Energy authorized Cheniere Energy to expand its Corpus Christi LNG terminal in Texas with a non-FTA export permit for two new trains, 8 and 9, totaling 3.28 million metric tons per annum.

The permit allows exports to non-FTA countries until 2050. The combined export capacity of the terminal is now 4.45 Bcf/d, positioning it as the second-largest LNG export project in the U.S. Cheniere's mid-scale trains 8 and 9 are adjacent to an under-construction Stage 3 Project, which includes seven mid-scale trains with a total capacity over 10 MMtpa, with substantial completion of trains 1-4 achieved by the end of 2025.
