TotalEnergies to Export 2 Mtpa LNG from Alaska Project for 20 Years

Agreement Details

TotalEnergies has signed a preliminary agreement with Glenfarne, the lead developer of the Alaska LNG project, for the long-term offtake of 2 million tons per year (Mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) over 20 years. This agreement is contingent upon the project's final investment decision.

Project Overview

The Alaska LNG project, located on the U.S. Pacific coast, is the only federally authorized LNG export terminal in the region. It plans a total capacity of 20 Mtpa, with direct access to Asia, the world's largest LNG market. This strategic location offers a reliable solution for Asia's energy security and strengthens transpacific ties.

Strategic Importance

The project has strong political and institutional support in the U.S. and aims to meet growing LNG demand from Asia. Its location on the Pacific coast provides logistical flexibility and enhanced competitiveness.

TotalEnergies' LNG Activities
