Company Overview

NextDecade Corporation is an energy company focused on developing liquefied natural gas (LNG) export infrastructure. Its principal project is the Rio Grande LNG facility near Brownsville, Texas, designed to liquefy natural gas for export to international markets.

The company is also developing carbon capture and storage capabilities associated with the facility, with the goal of reducing emissions from its LNG operations. NextDecade’s business centers on advancing and operating these projects rather than producing natural gas itself.
