The exports are approved to go to markets in Asia and Europe. Commonwealth LNG, which has waited longer than any other company for its permit, wants to build a 9.5 million-metric-ton-per-annum export plant in Louisiana to sell to countries that do not have a free trade agreement with the U.S. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Production Project Database can learn more by viewing the project report.
