SMALL-SCALE LNG · THE AMERICAS

Natural gas, delivered where pipelines don’t go.

We build and run small-scale LNG plants that bring affordable, cleaner energy to industry and communities beyond the pipeline.

WELCOME TO OKRA ENERGY

Energy for the places the grid left behind.

Pipelines only reach so far. Beyond them, mines, power plants, factories and towns run on expensive diesel. We liquefy natural gas where it’s available and deliver it where it isn’t — cleaner than diesel, cheaper per unit of energy, and years faster than waiting for a pipeline.

Our engineers and operators design, build and run small-scale LNG plants, bringing more than 50 years of experience delivering mission-critical energy projects.

Our goal is a smarter, higher-performance LNG world.

We built Peru’s first small-scale LNG plant in 2018. Read our history →
1/600
LNG takes up about 1/600th the volume of the same gas as a vapor.
WHY OKRA ENERGY

We design it. We build it.
You choose who runs it.

Most LNG projects pass from a developer to an EPC contractor to an operator, with a handoff at every step. Ours don’t. Pure LNG designs, engineers and builds each plant as the EPC contractor and commissions it with the same team. Then you choose: buy or lease the plant and run it yourself, or have us operate it.

01 · DESIGN

Process design and plant layout, done in-house.

02 · ENGINEER

Detailed engineering of every train, skid and system.

03 · BUILD

Pure LNG acts as its own EPC contractor: procurement, fabrication and construction.

04 · IMPLEMENT

Commissioning and start-up by the same team that built the plant.

05 · OPERATE

We operate the plant for you, or hand it over to your team.

TECHNOLOGY FOUNDERS
Microsoft.
Google.
Tumblr.

Our founders have sold technology to companies including Microsoft, Google and Tumblr. We run energy infrastructure with the same discipline: instrumented plants, data-driven decisions and constant improvement.

Ask Alex, operational intelligenceBUILT ON CLAUDE

Every plant runs on Ask Alex.

Ask Alex is the AI operational intelligence system we use to manage our plants. It connects every sensor, drawing, work order and manual, spots developing problems before they become shutdowns and recommends the fix, so every train runs at its best. Plant data stays in a private, on-site database and is never shared.

ConnectedEvery record, drawing and system in one place
ReasonedInference across all the related data
ProactiveIssues flagged before they become shutdowns
PrivatePlant data and know-how are never shared
THE VIRTUAL PIPELINE

Four steps. No pipe required.

We own the chain end to end, so customers deal with one counterparty from wellhead to burner tip.

Stacked pipe sections
01 · SOURCE

Pipeline-quality gas under long-term supply agreements — 10 years in Peru, 25 years in Alabama.

02 · LIQUEFY

Modular plants chill gas to −162 °C, shrinking it 600-fold into a dense, transportable liquid.

03 · MOVE

Cryogenic ISO containers travel by road, rail or sea. Overland routes mean no seaport dependency.

Regasified on site for power, heat and process — or burned directly in our own gensets.

OUR ASSETS

Three assets.
One hemisphere.

A producing LNG plant on Peru’s north coast, a U.S. Gulf Coast liquefaction facility, and a shovel-ready, power-ready site for AI data centers in Central America.

WHAT WE SELL

Molecules, logistics and megawatts.

LNG supply

Delivered LNG on term or spot contracts, priced to beat diesel per unit of energy.

LNG plants

Turnkey small-scale liquefaction plants, designed and built by Pure LNG. Buy or lease one, then run it yourself or have us operate it.

Regasification & storage

On-site storage and vaporization, installed and operated by our team.

ISO container fleet

Cryogenic containers for rent — flexible capacity without the capital outlay.

Power generation

Gas-fired electricity for sites that want power, not fuel logistics.

Power-ready data center sites

Shovel-ready land for AI and hyperscale data centers, with gas power behind the meter and LNG on demand.

Power generation Mining Industry Upstream & flare gas Trucking, rail & marine Data centers
HOW WE WORK

Engineered for the edge of the grid.

Small-scale LNG is distributed infrastructure: built in modules, deployed in months, and scaled by adding trains instead of starting over.

Safety first

Plants designed and operated to NFPA 59A, with safety built into every procedure.

Reliability

Parallel liquefaction trains and on-site power keep product flowing through maintenance.

Local teams

Plants run by local operators and engineers, with licensed companies in each market we serve.

Cleaner growth

Displacing diesel and capturing gas that would otherwise be vented or flared.

OKRA ENERGY LNG CALCULATOR

How much diesel would LNG replace for you?

Convert gallons, tonnes, cubic meters, MMBtu and more — and compare LNG with diesel, fuel oil, propane and coal on energy, cost and CO₂.

1 gal LNG≈ 0.64 gal diesel
1 m³ LNG≈ 619 Sm³ gas
1 tonne LNG≈ 55 MMBtu
