Strong Asset Development
Platform
Rio Grande LNG’s location near Brownsville, Texas, is advantaged by lower vessel congestion, fewer severe weather events, and access to prolific gas supply from the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale. The first five trains are under construction, NextDecade is developing and advancing the permitting process for Trains 6-8, and there is sufficient space at the site for up to 10 liquefaction trains.
Relationships with High-Value Counterparties
NextDecade has developed strong relationships across the value chain, including an EPC partner with an unparalleled track record for execution, creditworthy long-term LNG customers, established equipment and technology providers, established and reliable gas transportation counterparties, and prominent infrastructure-focused equity partners across Trains 1-5 at Rio Grande LNG.
Robust Growth Opportunities Supported by Partners and Global Market
LNG demand is expected to continue to grow, and to become a higher percent of total global gas, as global gas demand growth remains robust, driven by the need for energy security, reliable energy to fuel economic growth and electrification, and AI-related power generation demand. NextDecade’s goal is to leverage commercial momentum from Trains 4 and 5 to commercialize Train 6 during the permitting process.
Commitment to Sustainability and Social Responsibility
NextDecade seeks to deliver secure, affordable, and cleaner energy through the safe and efficient development and operation of liquefaction capacity at Rio Grande LNG, which will export LNG that displaces coal and other solid fuels globally. NextDecade is committed to supporting the Rio Grande Valley community by creating thousands of jobs, investing millions in the local supply chain, supporting education systems, and regularly engaging with residents and local stakeholders.
