Penn LNG, headed by a native Philadelphian, has quietly lined up support to build a $6.4 billion liquefied natural gas export terminal near Philly. The energy project faces many challenges.

a plan by New Fortress Energy to liquefy natural gas at a proposed plant in northeastern Pennsylvania and transport the fuel by rail to the Repauno marine terminal in Gibbstown, Gloucester County. The Penn LNG proposal differs from the New Fortress plan in that LNG would be manufactured at the marine terminal itself.

Snell says Penn LNG is keen on a property in Chester at 800 W. Front St., the location of a former Ford assembly plant that shut down in 1961 and was repurposed as a warehouse. The site has a deepwater port and a rail connection, and is close to several large interstate gas pipelines.

James, 59, the founder of Penn LNG, a child of two physicians who grew up in Philadelphia and attended, has been focused on creating an LNG facility in the Philadelphia area for about a decade.
