A total of 18 million tons per year of liquefaction capacity was on line at Sabine Pass at the end of 2017 and just over 11 million tons/yr should start up in the US lower 48 this year courtesy of the 5.25 million ton/yr Cove Point project in Maryland, Elba Island in Georgia — where the US Energy Information Administration reckons six of the planned 10 250,000 ton/yr trains will open 一 and the first 4.4 million ton/yr train at Freeport LNG.
