Proposed LNG export terminal in Pa. takes next steps to move forward
Monday, September 5, 2022
A proposed Pennsylvania LNG export terminal is aiming to pre-file with federal regulators by the end of the year and reach a final investment decision by 2024, according to Natural Gas Intelligence.
The facility would be able to handle 7.2 million metric tons/year and would be located at a yet-to-be-determined site along the Delaware River near Philadelphia. It could be ready to produce the first liquified natural gas by 2028, according to founder and CEO of Penn America Energy Holdings LLC Franc James.
However, the $6 billion-plus project will face an uphill battle with environmental opposition.
The company has moved beyond the proof-of-concept stage and is currently working on commercialization, permitting and engineering. If completed, the terminal would tap into vast amounts of feed gas from the Appalachian Basin.

Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
