Rio Grande LNG

Rio Grande LNG

To meet global demand for sustainable energy, NextDecade has made a positive final investment decision (FID) to construct the first three liquefaction trains (Phase 1) at Rio Grande LNG in Brownsville, Texas. By combining emissions reduction associated with our planned carbon capture and storage project, responsibly sourced gas, and our pledge to use net-zero electricity, Rio Grande LNG is expected to produce a lower carbon intensive LNG for the world. Situated on a 984-acre site on the banks of an uncongested deepwater channel, Rio Grande LNG will be the largest privately funded infrastructure project in Texas.

At full scale, Rio Grande LNG will deliver enough energy to heat and cool the equivalent of nearly 34 million U.S. households annually.

Rio Grande LNG is the FIRST AND ONLY U.S. LNG project offering CO2 emissions reduction of more than 90 percent via planned carbon capture and storage – capturing and permanently storing more than 5 million metric tonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to removing more than one million vehicles from the road annually.
