Who We Are:

New Fortress Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NFE) is one of the world’s leading downstream natural gas-to-power companies with a $10+ billion enterprise value. We are a publicly traded, global energy infrastructure company, and a recognized leader in accelerating the world's transition to cleaner energy.

We develop, finance, and operate natural gas facilities, power plants and logistics solutions to rapidly deliver fully integrated, turnkey energy solutions to our customers. Our energy solutions spur economic growth, enhance environmental stewardship, and transform local industries and communities.

Our world-class team has expertise across power, infrastructure, transportation, logistics and LNG, and we have developed a proven track record building and operating liquefaction facilities, onshore and offshore regasification terminals, pipelines, power plants, and innovative LNG delivery solutions.

As part of our efforts to accelerate the transition to clean energy, we have also launched a cutting-edge initiative – which we call Zero – to replace natural gas with green hydrogen so that our energy solutions produce no carbon emissions.

We believe that everyone should have access to affordable, cleaner energy. However, billions of people around the planet still lack this critical element for quality of life and economic growth. We are driven by our vision of a world in which electricity is no longer a luxury good, and we are looking for talented, driven individuals to help us light the world with cleaner, more affordable energy solutions.
