GFI LNG, a diversified energy solutions company, and Pilot LNG a Houston-based clean energy infrastructure developer, have announced that they have formed a partnership to develop, construct, and operate a small-scale LNG terminal in Salina Cruz, Mexico.
At full build-out, the facility is anticipated to produce roughly 0.34 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). The partners anticipate operations to commence in mid-to-late 2027. With speed-to-market in mind, the project is being designed to include modular, land-based liquefaction equipment and an optimised storage solution. The project will deploy a floating storage unit (FSU) with an estimated capacity ranging from 50,000 – 140,000 m3 to be moored inside the newly expanded breakwater in the Port of Salina Cruz.
Jonathan Cook, CEO of Pilot says: ‘With long personal ties to the region, the GFI team is dedicated to helping bring infrastructure development to Salina Cruz and brings a critically necessary understanding and appreciation for the local community and government.’
