JGC Holdings Corporation announced that JGC America, Inc. together with Zachry Industrial, Inc. (JZJV) has been awarded a Front End Engineering Design (FEED) and Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Bid Agreement contract for the Cameron LNG Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) expansion project located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
Currently, Cameron LNG operates three natural gas liquefaction trains (annual production of approx. 12 million tons). The expansion project is aimed to enlarge production capacity by adding a fourth train (maximum annual production of approx. 6.75 million tons) to the existing trains utilizing electric drive (E-drive) motors. Usage of E-drive instead of gas turbine drives, is expected to allow for a significant reduction in carbon emissions.
JZJV will be responsible for the FEED design work as well as the submission of an EPC bid.
JGC has been responsible for executing LNG plants that account for approximately 30% of global LNG production. Currently, JGC is executing two LNG projects, including LNG Canada and an FLNG (Floating LNG) plant off the coast of Mozambique.
JGC will continue to lead the industry through its strong business activities and respond to the growing demand of electric drive (E-drive) motors.
