About Us

New Fortress Energy, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) company, was founded in 2014 with the belief that access to affordable, reliable, cleaner energy is not a privilege, but a human right. Universal access to energy can impact major world issues from education to poverty reduction to gender equality. Creating that access – in an environmentally responsible way – is our fundamental mission.

Our story began with a transformation. Seeking to convert a freight rail to run on cleaner, more efficient fuel, our founder created New Fortress Energy and built Florida’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) production facility. Soon after, New Fortress Energy made a significant investment to deliver Jamaica’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG). Since then, we have embarked on an international expansion, driven by our vision of a world in which electricity is no longer a luxury.

We help customers replace oil-based fuels with liquefied natural gas (LNG), providing turnkey, customized energy solutions to customers of all sizes around the world – and we do it quickly and efficiently. Our world-class expertise in power, infrastructure, transportation, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) allows us to manage the entire process from end-to-end: building and operating liquefaction facilities, onshore and offshore regasification terminals, pipelines, power plants, and small-scale solutions.

About The Team

We envision a world in which everyone, everywhere has access to affordable, 100% clean energy. Protecting our environment and expanding energy access shouldn’t be conflicting goals. Our mission is to transform NFE into one of the world’s leading providers of carbon-free power by replacing fossil fuels with affordable zero net-carbon hydrogen.
