Following the order from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) approving Lake Charles Exports’ non-free trade agreement application to export liquefied natural gas (LNG), Center for Liquefied Natural Gas President Bill Cooper issued the statement below:
“The approval order for Lake Charles Exports is a welcome announcement. However, this is one approval, and there are 19 more applications awaiting DOE action. For 16 of the 19 pending applications, the comment periods have closed. Consequently, there should be no new information to consider.
The facts are clear: Increased LNG exports will unlock significant benefits to our economy, workforce and trade partnerships. It is time for DOE to follow its rules and act quickly on the pending applications.
This opportunity to grow American exports will not last forever.”
