Application to Export 1,200 Bcf/yr LNG
Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage IV asks DOE for long-term permission to export LNG equal to about 1,200 billion cubic feet per year to countries that do not have U.S. free trade agreements. The company seeks authorization for a 25-year term after the project begins commercial operation.
Planned Stage 4 Construction at Corpus Christi
The Stage 4 Project would be built adjacent to the existing Corpus Christi LNG terminal in San Patricio and Nueces Counties, Texas, and would add four new liquefaction trains, two storage tanks, three ground flares, a third marine berth, and a terminal supply line.

Anyone may file protests, motions to intervene, or written comments about the application, but they must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern time on June 15, 2026. DOE strongly encourages electronic filings to [email protected], requires filings in English, and provides a postal delivery address in Washington, DC for mailed submissions.
