With two major refineries, 20 chemical plants and a rapidly growing international liquefied natural gas (LNG) export sector, Southwest Louisiana provides the fuel that powers economic growth around the world.
International customers increasingly rely on LNG shipped from Southwest Louisiana, which has earned the title Clean Energy Capital of North America. The region’s proximity to the Gulf of Mexico via the Port of Lake Charles and the Cameron Port Terminal and Harbor District offers a major advantage for LNG development and export.
Beyond LNG, companies that manufacture consumer goods from soaps to pharmaceuticals rely on the region for the ingredients that make their products.
