Venture Global LNG has received US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permission to start Block 2 commissioning at its 10-million tonne/year (tpy) Calcasieu Pass LNG liquefaction plant in Cameron Parish, La. The plant is expected to start test production end-2021 or early 2022 and enter commercial service by mid-2022.

Calcasieu Pass will use 18 0.6-million tpy trains arranged in two-train blocks. Block 1 received FERC commissioning approval in early November.

Venture Global earlier this month applied with FERC to develop its fourth LNG plant in Louisiana, the 20-million tpy CP2 LNG. The new project would be built adjacent to Calcasieu Pass LNG (OGJ Online, Dec. 3, 2021).

The company is also developing the 20-million tpy Plaquemines LNG and 20-million tpy Delta LNG plants, both in Plaquemines Parish, La. First production from Plaquemines LNG is expected in 2024.
