MOSS POINT,Miss. (AP) –The U.S. Department of Energy and Mississippi Gasification,which has planned a $2 billion energy project in Moss Point,will hold a public meeting on the facility.
The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Pelican Landing Conference Center in Moss Point.
The meeting will kick off a lengthy federal environmental impact assessment needed to secure $1.7 billion in DOE loans for the synthetic natural gas facility.
Mississippi Gasification,owned by New York-based Leucadia National Corp.,wants to build a plant on the former International Paper Co. property to turn petroleum coke,a byproduct of crude oil refineries,into substitute natural gas for industrial customers across the Southeast.
Construction would take 36 months,and the plant would begin full production by mid-2015.
