Crowley inaugurates LNG terminal in Puerto Rico

Over the course of several years, Crowley has fostered strong relationships with the government and businesses of Puerto Rico. This allowed the company to play a pivotal role in supplying sustainable fuel sources to the island.

“As Puerto Rico moves forward on its quest to transform its dated and fragile electric generation system into a first-class energy network, the use of alternative and transitional fuels like LNG will be critically important in helping build resiliency and reliability into the system,” said Pedro Pierluisi, governor of Puerto Rico.

“Crowley’s new LNG loading terminal in Peñuelas will foster much-needed new economic activity for municipalities on the island, and it will also position Puerto Rico’s industrial and commercial sector on a fast-track path toward economic growth by providing reliable and environmentally friendlier energy.

The facility will significantly grow Crowley’s service capabilities in the country, delivering more than 94 million gallons of LNG annually. When operating at full distribution capacity, it will help power an aggregate of 120 megawatts in cleaner energy while helping to reduce carbon dioxide and sulphur emissions.
