Background

In September 2011 Energy World Corporation proposed building an LNG export facility with a capacity between 2 mtpa and 5 mtpa in Abbbot Point, Queensland. The design called for the construction of standard EWC liquefaction modules of 0.5 mtpa each. In April 2014 EWC applied for government approval to build a facility which would be supplied by a 1000-km pipeline from the Cooper Basin.

The project was shelved in 2020. There have been no development updates in over two years, and therefore the project is presumed to be cancelled as of July 2022.
