SpaceX seeks approval for 32-mile Florida pipeline to fuel Starship

SpaceX subsidiary Coastal Connect Services has asked the Florida Public Service Commission to approve a tariff for a 32.4-mile natural gas pipeline in Brevard County to supply methane for Starship. The 16-inch line would link SpaceX facilities to the Florida Gas Transmission interstate pipeline, replacing truck deliveries.

• Pipeline would run 32.4 miles with a 16-inch diameter
• Gas feeds methane-fueled Raptor engines on Starship
• SpaceX also proposed an 8-mile pipeline for Starbase in Texas
• Project needs regulatory approval; construction not yet authorized
