CLNG Welcomes Freeport LNG NFTA Approval

The Center for Liquefied Natural Gas (CLNG) commended on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for its decision to approve Freeport LNG’s non-free trade (NFTA) applications and restart the process for expanding LNG exports.

Immediately after the announcement, CLNG President Bill Cooper made the following remarks: “The approval of the Freeport LNG export application marks a good day for America.

The overwhelming evidence supports LNG exports as good for our economy, our workforce, our industries, and our trading partners.

Now that DOE has had a considerable amount of time to examine the issues, it needs to focus its efforts on the approval process so Americans may realize the benefits LNG exports can bring to our economy.”
