November 13, 2025 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Alaska LNG, majority owned and developed by Glenfarne Alaska LNG, LLC, has announced a strategic alliance with Baker Hughes, a global energy technology company, to advance the Alaska LNG Project.
Under the new agreement, Glenfarne has selected Baker Hughes as the supplier of main refrigerant compressors for the LNG terminal and power generation equipment for the North Slope gas treatment plant. Baker Hughes has also made a strategic investment in the project. The announcement was made during a ceremony in Washington, D.C., attended by U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright.
Brendan Duval, CEO and founder of Glenfarne, highlighted Baker Hughes’ role as a key partner, noting the company’s leadership in LNG compression technology and the significance of this collaboration for national and state energy objectives. Baker Hughes’ Chairman and CEO, Lorenzo Simonelli, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting the project, emphasising the importance of natural gas and LNG in providing secure, reliable, and lower-carbon energy. Both government officials commended the alliance as a milestone in strengthening U.S. energy independence, economic resilience, and international competitiveness.
The Alaska LNG Project is being developed in two financially independent phases. Phase One will include an 807-mile, 42-inch pipeline transporting natural gas from Alaska’s North Slope to serve domestic energy needs, with final engineering and cost analysis by Worley expected to conclude in December ahead of a final investment decision.
Phase Two will add an LNG terminal and supporting infrastructure, enabling an export capacity of 20 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), with FID anticipated in late 2026. Since taking leadership of the project in March, Glenfarne has secured preliminary commercial commitments from major buyers in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand for over 60 percent of the LNG capacity needed to reach FID. With a total permitted portfolio of 32.8 MTPA across Alaska, Texas, and Louisiana, Glenfarne continues to expand its footprint in the North American LNG market, including collaboration with Baker Hughes on its Texas LNG project.
