U.S. Department of Energy Authorizes Additional Liquefied Natural Gas Exports from Lake Charles

info • Jun 29, 2017

The U.S. Department of Energy announced today the approval of two long-term applications to export additional liquefied natural gas from the Lake Charles LNG Liquefaction Project in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Additional exports in the amount of 0.33 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas are approved from Lake Charles’s proposed liquefaction facility.

The Energy Department previously authorized the Lake Charles Companies to export LNG up to the equivalent of 2 Bcf/d of natural gas to any country in the world not prohibited by U.S. law or policy from the Lake Charles LNG Liquefaction Project. Now, with further engineering of the planned project, additional design capacity has been realized and the Energy Department is authorizing an additional 0.33 Bcf/d of exports from the Lake Charles LNG Liquefaction Project.
