Support the Cameron

Liquefaction Project
For good jobs, clean energy and a stronger economy

Issue No.1

Dear Neighbor,
Cameron Energy Alliance is a group of passionate workers, local
business owners and individuals in Southwest Louisiana who
have come together in support of the proposed Cameron
liquefaction project in Hackberry, Louisiana.
Since its establishment in our region, Cameron LNG has been
a strong community partner creating jobs, supporting local
events and donating to our community organizations.
The liquefaction project will convert U.S. natural gas into liquid
form making it possible to ship to global markets as liquefied
natural gas (LNG). The U.S. currently has more than a 100-year
supply of natural gas, which is enough to meet our needs here
at home as well as those of our trading partners abroad.
Moreover, the project will create thousands of jobs in our
community, support small businesses and help our economy
by reducing our trade deficit.
Please join the Cameron Energy Alliance and lend your voice
in support as the U.S. Department of Energy and the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission work to permit this important
project. Become a member of our alliance by visiting
www.cameronenergyalliance.com.
Thank you for your support!
Cameron Energy Alliance
For good jobs, clean energy and a stronger economy.

About the Cameron


Liquefaction Project.
n Located 18 miles from the Gulf of

Mexico in Hackberry, Louisiana.


n Expands the existing LNG
facilities.
n Total export capability of 12
million tonnes per annum/1.7
billion cubic feet per day.
n An estimated capital cost of $6 to
$7 billion to design and build.
n Creates nearly 3,000 jobs during
the peak construction year and
approximately 130 full-time
permanent jobs.
n Provides the global market with
access to clean and reliable natural
gas and a low carbon source of
energy.

GENERATING THOUSANDS OF GOOD JOBS


During construction of the liquefaction facilities, more than 1,300
high-paying, on-site jobs will be created over four years. At the peak
of construction, the project will employ approximately 3,000 workers
and will create hundreds of additional off-site jobs that will have a
significant impact on the economy of our region.
Many small businesses in Southwest Louisiana and the surrounding
area will benefit from the Cameron liquefaction project by providing
transportation, lodging and food services, among others, before, during
and after construction.

The Cameron
liquefaction project will
create thousands of much
needed jobs in Southwest
Louisiana.
GEORGE SWIFT,
President/CEO, The Southwest Louisiana
Economic Development Alliance

Once completed, approximately 130 new full-time jobs will be added


to support the operations and maintenance of the expanded facility.
These jobs will stay in the community during the life of the project and
provide opportunities in highly skilled trades. This is why our local
Chamber of Commerce is a member of our Cameron Energy Alliance.

The proposed Cameron


liquefaction project will
provide access to cleanburning, efficient natural
gas.

MEETING THE DEMAND FOR CLEAN,


EFFICIENT ENERGY
Natural gas is in great demand for use in homes, businesses
and industry for heating, cooking, generating electricity
and manufacturing. Natural gas is also increasingly being
used to fuel heavy-duty vehicles like buses and large trucks.
The increased use of cleaner burning natural gas significantly
reduces the levels of greenhouse gas emitted into our
atmosphere.

CHUCK KLECKLEY,
LOUISIANA SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

The Cameron LNG terminal will add liquefaction facilities


that will transform natural gas into liquefied natural gas
(LNG) by super-cooling it to make its transport in ships
viable. By transporting LNG, the U.S. will be providing
our trading partners with increased access to a source of
clean and reliable energy.
Safety is our top priority
The safety of facility employees and the surrounding
community is an important priority to our alliance. As
with the existing Cameron LNG terminal, the proposed
export facility will meet or exceed all industry safety
requirements.

STRENGTHENING OUR ECONOMY AND


REDUCING OUR TRADE DEFICIT
Cameron Energy Alliance supports the proposed Cameron liquefaction
project because it will strengthen our economy and help reduce our trade
deficit.
The U.S. International Trade Administration estimates that an LNG
export terminal will generate millions of dollars in new domestic
revenue. In fact, Cameron LNG is expected to process $10.8 billion
in natural gas exports annually.
Delivering U.S. natural gas resources to global markets will help reduce
trade deficits, strengthen ties with our world partners and help provide
price stability in the energy market.

This expansion will


represent nearly six
billion dollars in
private investment in
our state, and the jobs
and benefits will be of
great importance to
Louisiana families.
BOBBY JINDAL,

The liquefaction project will also support small local businesses and
create long-term value for the entire sector that supports energy
production in the U.S.

Giving back to the community


Cameron LNG is more than just an energy facility, its a group of local highly-skilled
people that live in our community and are committed to serving as true
neighborhood partners in Southwest Louisiana by contributing their time and
resources to better our community.
Ira Fontenot,
President, West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital Foundation

More than $1.5 million has been donated by Cameron LNG and employees to help community organizations in our
region. Cameron LNG:
n Supports local organizations, such as the Cameron Sheriff s D.A.R.E program, West Calcasieu Hospital, Coastal
Plain Conservancy, Creole Nature Trail, Cameron Council on Aging, among others.
n Partners with the Hackberry Duck-off organization to hold an annual photo and drawing contest with
school-age children that showcases the beauty of the environment of Southwest Louisiana.
n Funds a scholarship program for local students to help educate the leaders of tomorrow.
Cameron LNG is also dedicated to protecting Southwest Louisianas environment for future generations. They are working
to protect our unique ecosystems, by:
n Creating more than 100 acres of new wetlands during construction of the receipt facility and creating hundreds
more with the construction of the export facility.
n Partnering with Ducks Unlimited, Cameron LNG restored over 900 acres of eroded marshlands in Cameron Parish.
By adding terraces and vegetation to Black Lake, wave energy was reduced and water clarity improved, creating
additional waterfowl habitats that contribute to a healthier ecosystem and help protect the area during storms.
