Tour of LNG Plant in Dames Point

          The Club has arranged for a member tour of the new Jacksonville liquefied natural gas facility located at Dames Point in Jacksonville on Tuesday, Oct. 8, 10 to 11:30 a.m.

          The first small-scale waterside LNG production facility in the United States became operational in May.  The state-of-the-art facility has both marine and truck-loading capabilities with the capacity to produce 120,000 gallons of LNG per day and store more than 2 million gallons of LNG.  Liquefied natural gas is a clean, domestically produced alternative fuel serving multiple industries to reduce emissions and energy costs.

          It is a joint venture between Pivotal LNG, a Georgia-based provider of LNG services, and NorthStar Midstream, an investment firm. 

          Tour goers should meet at the Fernandina Beach Golf Course where we have luncheons for a 9:15 A.M. prompt carpool departure to the plant on Oct. 8.
