An LNG plant ideally positioned to serve Asian markets
ECA LNG Phase 1 consists of a single-train liquefaction facility with a nameplate LNG capacity of 3.25 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), supplied with U.S. feed gas sourced from the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico. ECA LNG has leveraged synergies with the existing regasification plant to optimize construction costs. A second larger phase is also under development at the same site.
ECA LNG enables U.S. natural gas to be exported to Asia and other Pacific Basin markets via the shortest maritime route, reducing transportation times and costs, because of its strategic location on Mexico’s west coast. The project is expected to reach substantial completion in the summer 2026, with long-term LNG sales agreements taking effect shortly thereafter as the facility enters commercial operations.
The world’s third largest LNG player
TotalEnergies is the world’s third largest LNG player with a global portfolio of 44 million tonnes in 2025 thanks to its interests in liquefaction plants in all geographies.
The company benefits from an integrated position across the LNG value chain, including production, transportation, access to more than 20 Mtpa of regasification capacity in Europe, trading, and LNG bunkering.
TotalEnergies’ ambition is to increase the share of natural gas in its sales mix to close to 50% by 2030, to reduce carbon emissions and eliminate methane emissions associated with the gas value chain, and to work with local partners to promote the transition from coal to natural gas.
