LNG Bunker Port Project to Build on Texas City Land
What happened
A joint venture plans to construct a small-scale natural gas liquefaction, storage, and bunkering facility on approximately 140 acres of industrial property owned by Texas City along the Texas City Ship Channel. The facility is expected to produce up to 760,000 gallons of LNG daily at full capacity. Construction is projected to take 30 to 36 months, with LNG deliveries anticipated in late 2029 or early 2030.
