Energy technology company Baker Hughes will supply the main refrigerant compressors and power generation equipment for the Alaska LNG North Slope project.
Alaska LNG is majority-owned and being developed by energy infrastructure specialist Glenfarne Alaska, which will have the capacity to produce 20 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas per year.
Glenfarne became the lead developer of Alaska LNG in March. Baker Hughes is also making a strategic investment to support the project.
Phase one of Alaska LNG consists of an 807-mile pipeline to transport natural gas from Alaska’s North Slope to southern Alaska to meet local energy needs. The second phase will add the LNG terminal and related infrastructure.
The project is subject to a final investment decision being made in late 2026.
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Alaska LNG has the potential to be one of the most significant energy infrastructure projects in US history.
“The Trump administration remains committed to unleashing Alaska’s energy potential, including by supporting Alaska LNG,” he said.
Glenfarne has secured preliminary agreements with major LNG buyers in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand for 11 million tonnes of LNG a year – over 60% of the volume needed to reach final investment decision.
Glenfarne’s permitted North American LNG portfolio totals 32.8 million tonnes per annum across projects in Alaska, Texas, and Louisiana.
Baker Hughes has already been contracted to supply compression equipment for Glenfarne’s Texas LNG project.
