A gas liquefaction facility in Lusby, MD
Millions in tax revenue, continued community partnership and environmental sustainability. For 40 years, the Cove Point Terminal has taken great pride in being a valued member of the Maryland community and a responsible environmental steward.
Dominion Energy Cove Point Terminal is located on the Chesapeake Bay in Lusby, Maryland, south of Baltimore. Historically, the facility has received transport vessels, stored liquefied natural gas (LNG) onshore, then transformed it back to gas when needed to meet demand. The Cove Point Liquefaction Project allows Dominion Energy to liquefy natural gas onsite and transport it to tanker ships for export.
Terminal Operation
Cove Point LNG Terminal has a storage capacity of 14.6 billion cubic feet (BCF) and a daily send-out capacity of 1.8 BCF. The terminal connects, via its own pipeline, to the major Mid-Atlantic gas transmission systems of Transcontinental Gas Pipeline, Columbia Gas Transmission and Dominion Energy Transmission.
Receiving and Storing Gas
Specially designed LNG transport ships carry LNG from various locations in the world, including Trinidad, Nigeria, Norway, Venezuela and Algeria. At Cove Point, LNG is off-loaded at an offshore dock, transported through a series of pipes, stored in insulated tanks for subsequent gasification and then delivered into the pipeline.
Prior to construction, numerous local, state and federal permits and clearances were obtained. The permits address all natural resources -- land, air, water, vegetation and wildlife, as well as the interests of the general public.
