WASHINGTON, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Greenberg Traurig, LLP represented AGDC and the state of Alaska in the recent transaction where AGDC divested three-quarters of its stake in 8 Star Alaska to Glenfarne Group, LLC. The deal was announced March 27 in Tokyo.
Alaska LNG is the sole federally permitted liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project on the U.S. Pacific Coast, and one of the largest energy projects in the world, with an estimated cost of $40 billion. Alaska LNG's three subprojects include an 807-mile, 42-inch pipeline, a 20 MTPA LNG export terminal in Nikiski, Alaska, and a North Slope-based carbon capture plant to remove and safely store 7 million tons of carbon dioxide annually.
Under the agreement, AGDC is divesting 75% of 8 Star Alaska to Glenfarne, who will assume the role of Alaska LNG's lead developer. AGDC remains a 25% owner of 8 Star Alaska and has the option to invest up to 25% in any or all of the three 8 Star Alaska subprojects.
