中国石化新闻网讯 据世界天然气12月13日消息,美国液化天然气出口项目开发商NextDecade表示,其在德克萨斯州南部的Rio Grande LNG出口项目已获得德克萨斯州环境质量委员会(TCEQ)颁发的一系列空气许可证。
根据NextDecade的声明,在周三的会议上,TCEQ专员投票决定签发空气质素许可证第104792号、PSD空气质素许可证第104792号。PSDTX1498、GHGPSD空气质量许可证编号GHGPSDTX158。
此外,所有要求听证和复议的请求均被驳回。
2700万吨/年的Rio Grande液化天然气项目还需要经过联邦能源监管委员会(FERC)的审查,该委员会是负责美国液化天然气项目许可的主要协调机构。
FERC已于2018年10月12日发布了关于Rio Grande液化天然气项目及配套的Rio Bravo管道的环境影响声明草案。
最终的EIS将于2019年4月26日发布。FERC已经确定了为期90天的联邦授权决定截止日期2019年7月25日。
NextDecade表示,预计将在2019年第三季度对该项目做出最终投资决定。

US LNG export project developer, NextDecade said that its proposed Rio Grande LNG export project in South Texas has received a series of air permits from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
During a meeting on Wednesday, TCEQ Commissioners voted to issue Air Quality Permit No. 104792, PSD Air Quality Permit No. PSDTX1498, and GHGPSD Air Quality Permit No. GHGPSDTX158, according to a NextDecade statement.
In addition, all requests for hearing and a motion for reconsideration were denied, it said.
The 27 mtpa Rio Grande LNG project also remains subject to review by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which is the primary and coordinating agency responsible for the permitting of U.S. LNG projects.
FERC issued a draft environmental impact statement on the Rio Grande LNG project and associated Rio Bravo Pipeline on October 12, 2018.
A final EIS will be issued on April 26, 2019. FERC has established a 90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline of July 25, 2019.
