Background

In February 2023, Gulfstream LNG announced that it had filed an application with the US Department of Energy for authorization to export 4 mtpa to free trade agreement (FTA) and non-FTA countries. Gulfstream LNG is owned by an individual, Vivek Chandra, who has also established Texas LNG of Texas LNG Terminal. The site includes over 1.3 km of land along the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. The facility would provide LNG to domestic and international markets through river barges, small ships, bunkering vessels, and large tanker exports, in contrast to other LNG projects along the Gulf Coast. Gulfstream LNG has said that its mid-scale modular liquefaction trains will be powered by low-carbon and renewable fuels. The project is expected to be operational 6 years from its proposal, in 2029.

In July 2023, US DOE granted Gulfstream LNG a long-term FTA export license.

In November 2023, Gulfstream LNG selected Baker Hughes, Honeywell UOP, and Kiewit contractors for the development of the facility.

In May 2024, the developers received approval from the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to begin the pre-filing process.

In July 2025, Gulfstream LNG submitted application to FERC application to build the LNG Terminal.

Opposition

In June 2024, Public Citizen filed a protest with the U.S. Department of Energy arguing that the project is not in the public interest on the grounds of increasing domestic gas consumption in the region.
