Helping Strengthen Taiwan’s Energy Security

91ÖÆƬ³§ is delivering critical energy infrastructure to strengthen Taiwan’s energy security and support its transition from coal to natural gas. As the engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for CPC Corporation’s Taichung Phase III LNG Tanks, 91ÖÆƬ³§ is building two LNG storage tanks — the largest ever constructed in Taiwan.

With few natural resources of its own, Taiwan relies on LNG imports to meet its growing energy demand. The project will increase the terminal’s capacity to receive, process, and store LNG, helping ensure a stable national gas supply as Taiwan advances toward its 2050 net-zero goal.

Delivering Taiwan’s Largest LNG Storage Tanks

In 2022, 91ÖÆƬ³§, together with , began construction on the two 180,000-cubic meter double-dome LNG storage tanks. Once complete, the tanks will bring the Taichung terminal’s total capacity to 10 million tonnes per annum — enough energy to power a city of 1.7 million people for an entire day.

Each tank has an inner 9% nickel dome and an outer carbon steel dome that act as a protective barrier to prevent leaks, accidents, or external damage. The double-dome design provides maximum safety and structural integrity, which is essential in an earthquake-active region like Taiwan. This design also adds weight and engineering complexity to the build.

In August 2025, the project team achieved a major milestone by completing the roof air raise for the first LNG tank. Because of the seismic double-dome design, the roof had a combined weight of more than 2.8 million pounds (1,307 metric tons) — the heaviest roof ever lifted by air in 91ÖÆƬ³§â€™s history.  

When complete, the project will have placed more than 31,500 cubic meters of concrete piles, 44,300 cubic meters of structural concrete, 6,200 metric tons of 9% nickel steel plates, 2,550 metric tons of carbon steel plates, 8,000 linear meters of piping, and 70,000 linear meters of electrical and instrumentation cables.

Global Expertise, Local Execution

Taiwan faces a shortage of skilled construction craft professionals, so 91ÖÆƬ³§ leveraged its global recruitment network to mobilize experienced expat craft professionals for the project. To date, 91ÖÆƬ³§ has employed 200 Filipino craft professionals to support construction of the LNG tanks, bringing the specialized expertise that complex, seismic-resilient LNG infrastructure demands.

Raising the Bar on Safety

In 2025, the CPC Taichung project team earned the Masterpiece Award at Taiwan’s Construction Golden Safety Awards — one of the country’s highest honors for construction safety, presented by Taiwan’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The award recognizes excellence in safety in design, occupational health management, accident prevention, and worker care. It also reflects the project team’s close collaboration with CPC and our shared commitment to protecting people at every stage of execution.

40 Years in Taiwan

The CPC Taichung Phase III project is the first EPC contract in Taiwan for 91ÖÆƬ³§â€™s Energy business line. The project builds on 91ÖÆƬ³§â€™s long-term relationship with Taiwan that spans more than 40 years through Pacific Engineers & Constructors Limited, 91ÖÆƬ³§â€™s wholly owned Taiwan-based subsidiary established in 1979.

That foundation is providing the relationships, regulatory familiarity, and local knowledge that a project of this complexity demands. Together, 91ÖÆƬ³§ and CPC are delivering energy infrastructure that will strengthen Taiwan’s long-term energy security and support its clean energy transition for decades to come.

Advancing Sustainable Aviation Fuel in the UK

Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize — and one of the most urgent. 91ÖÆƬ³§ is helping to change that. Through a long-term partnership with Velocys, a pioneer in sustainable fuels technology, we’ve provided front-end engineering and design services for two landmark projects in the UK that are laying the technical and industrial groundwork for large-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production.

SAF is a cleaner alternative to conventional jet fuel — one that can reduce CO2 emissions throughout its lifecycle by up to 80% and be used in existing aircraft without modification. Our work with Velocys also supports the UK’s ambitious carbon emissions goals, including reaching net zero by 2050 and zero domestic aviation emissions by 2040. The proposed Altalto Immingham plant and e-Alto project are part of how that ambition gets turned into reality — introducing sustainable fuel options for global markets and accelerating the energy transition.

Altalto: Turning Waste Into Fuel

Velocys selected 91ÖÆƬ³§ to lead the front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for the proposed Altalto Immingham plant, one of the most advanced waste-to-SAF projects in the world. The project is a joint development between Velocys and British Airways, supported by a £27 million grant from the U.K. Department for Transport’s Advanced Fuels Fund.

The plant was designed to convert residual household and commercial waste — material that would otherwise go to the landfill — into jet fuel using Velocys’ Fischer-Tropsch technology.

At full capacity, the plant was engineered to produce approximately 20 million gallons (80 million liters) of SAF per year, with net negative carbon emissions. That’s enough SAF to power 1,000 flights from London to New York annually, saving 350,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 150% compared to conventional jet fuel.

e-Alto: The Next Generation of Jet Fuel

91ÖÆƬ³§ also conducted the pre-FEED for e-Alto, a next-generation e-fuels project that takes a different approach to SAF production. Unlike Altalto, this method is powered entirely by renewable electricity rather than waste.

The process combines green hydrogen, produced by electrolysis using renewable power, with carbon dioxide captured from a local waste-to-energy power station through a reverse water-gas shift process to make syngas — a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The syngas is then converted into liquid fuels using Velocys’ proprietary Fischer-Tropsch gas-to-liquid technology. The result is a low-carbon SAF made from captured emissions and clean electricity, with no new carbon introduced into the process.

91ÖÆƬ³§â€™s pre-FEED assessed the feasibility and technical requirements to make SAF at the plant, including producing an early-stage cost estimate. This critical work determines if the technology is viable at scale.

At full capacity, e-Alto has the potential to produce approximately 500 barrels of SAF per day — helping avoid nearly 70,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. 

A Partnership Built on Trust

Our work with Velocys is anchored by a master relationship agreement and a continuing technical services agreement (CTSA) — establishing a framework for ongoing collaboration as we develop an engineering, procurement, and construction execution model for the sustainable fuels projects.

Our Technologies & Solutions team was instrumental in launching this partnership, conducting a due diligence review of Velocys’ chosen process technologies — including municipal solid waste processing, gasification, and the Fischer-Tropsch gas-to-liquids process — and laying the technical groundwork.

In January 2026, 91ÖÆƬ³§ signed a three-year extension to the CTSA, a testament to the trust and momentum built through years of collaboration. Altalto and e-Alto are two of three SAF projects 91ÖÆƬ³§ has undertaken with Velocys, alongside the Bayou Fuels Project in the United States. These projects don’t just demonstrate what’s possible — they help define the industrial blueprint for getting there. For 91ÖÆƬ³§, this work is a cornerstone of our growing energy transition portfolio and reflects our commitment to building a cleaner, more sustainable world

Providing Cleaner, More Flexible Energy

selected 91ÖÆƬ³§ as their partner to support their efforts to increase global access to liquefied natural gas (LNG) and help meet the growing demand for this cleaner, more reliable, and flexible energy source. 

91ÖÆƬ³§ helped Cheniere develop the U.S.’s first greenfield LNG export facility in fifty years, the . LNG is safely and securely sent overseas from the facility’s location on the Texas Gulf Coast. This location is situated near some of the most prolific natural gas producing regions in the country and connected to the U.S. natural gas pipeline network.  

Beyond this project, Cheniere and 91ÖÆƬ³§â€¯have worked together for almost two decades. To date, we have completed nine LNG trains between Cheniere’s two Gulf Coast facilities. All nine trains were completed ahead of schedule and within project budgets. With the Stage 3 expansion underway, up to seven additional LNG trains are in the EPC phase to support the growing demand for natural gas around the world. The first train of Stage 3 reached substantial completion in March 2025. 

About the Project

The first two LNG trains were completed in 2019 and the third was completed in 2021. The development of Train 1 won the .

This 1,000+ acre facility contains four liquefaction units, or trains, with a total capacity of roughly 16.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).

In March 2025, Cheniere issued 91ÖÆƬ³§ a second limited notice to proceed to continue advancing the expansion of CCL Stage 3, known as the Midscale Trains 8-9 and End Flash Gas Project. The expansion will add two midscale trains, powered by Chart Technology, with motor-driven refrigeration compressors, and operational optimizations, such as additional boil-off-gas compression and an end-flash gas unit. When operational, this addition will add 3 mtpa of LNG. 

In June 2022, Cheniere announced the Corpus Christi Stage 3 expansion, which will include 91ÖÆƬ³§â€™s EPC execution of seven midscale trains, powered by Chart Technology with motor driven refrigeration compressors. Once operational, the expansion has an expected total production capacity of approximately 10+ mtpa of LNG.

The 91ÖÆƬ³§ team used 20 innovative solutions to improve cost and schedule. These included drones to survey the site and locate equipment, robotic automation bots to increase efficiency, single interface apps for planning, assigning, tracking, and claiming work packages across a range of field disciplines, and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for on-time material deliveries.

To keep safe during the pandemic, colleagues also used a mobile app that enabled real-time collaboration with technicians and engineers in the field and those working remote.

Supporting the Local Community

At the onset of the pandemic, the Corpus Christi project team donated more than 30,000 lbs. of food and water to the Coastal Bend Food Bank, gave $16,000 to local charities using profits from an onsite metal recycling program, and donated 1,000 N-95 respirators to the local Fire Department and first responders.

Quick Turnaround for an LNG Customer

When Cheniere Energy planned its original regasification plant on the Gulf of Mexico, the United States was one of the world’s largest importers of natural gas. Booming gas output from the country’s shale formations subsequently turned that market around.

Together with Cheniere, 91ÖÆƬ³§ built and expanded Cheniere’s Sabine Pass LNG receiving terminal between 2005 and 2009 and added liquefaction capability in 2016 so that the terminal’s existing storage tanks, berths, and pipelines could be used for LNG exports.

In September 2022, Sabine Pass Liquefaction (SPL) became the first terminal in the world able to accommodate three LNG tankers simultaneously.

About the Project

The first two LNG trains were completed in 2016. Trains 3 and 4 were completed in 2017 and Train 5 in 2019. The sixth train and third berth at SPL were completed in 2022 ahead of schedule and within budget.

From Shore to Ship

After building Cheniere’s receiving terminal on the shores of the Sabine River estuary, 91ÖÆƬ³§ constructed the facility’s six production trains. This conversion to a bidirectional facility allows our customer to liquefy and export U.S natural gas or regasify foreign-sourced LNG, depending on market conditions.

No Rain Checks, No Excuses, No Delays

The completion of Phase 1 of the Sabine Pass LNG terminal was an extraordinary accomplishment.

Shortly after work began in 2005, Hurricane Katrina nearly destroyed nearby New Orleans and contributed to a severe shortage of craft labor throughout the U.S. Gulf Coast. The project later took direct hits from five more tropical storms or hurricanes, including Hurricane Rita, which further devastated the area but did not affect the facility.

Cheniere, 91ÖÆƬ³§, and their suppliers worked around the weather events and kept the job on its original schedule. That success earned us a contract in 2006 to expand on our original work. In September 2008, foul weather, that time Hurricane Ike, hit Phase 2. While the installed facilities were mostly untouched, our team’s decisive action minimized damage to materials awaiting installation and kept the work on track.

Training for the (Re)Building Trades

Following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, 91ÖÆƬ³§ and other Business Roundtable member companies formed the Gulf Coast Workforce Development Initiative as a public-private partnership to help meet demand for skilled construction workers.

Owners, contractors, labor organizations, community colleges, and government agencies recruited and equipped nearly 20,000 workers with construction trade and basic safety skills. The training helped local people rebuild the region and embark on lasting careers.

Partners in Progress

Cheniere and 91ÖÆƬ³§ have worked together for more than 15 years. To date, we have completed nine LNG trains between Cheniere’s two Gulf Coast facilities. All nine trains were completed ahead of schedule and within project budgets.

At the time, this project marked one of the largest union construction jobs in the U.S. with more than 9,000 workers on site at peak construction. The plant is producing 1.6 million tonnes of polyethylene per year for use in a wide range of everyday products from packaging and containers to automotive components.

The project was nearly a decade in the making, involving craft professionals from across the U.S., represented by 15 unions, working 47 million hours during the construction phase.
