The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued four long-term orders authorizing the export of domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) from four proposed LNG export projects in Texas: Annova LNG, Rio Grande LNG, and Texas LNG, all located in Brownsville, Texas; and Corpus Christi LNG’s Stage III in Corpus Christi, Texas.
“The Trump administration recognizes the importance and increasing role U.S. natural gas has in the global energy landscape,” said Dan Brouillette, U.S. Secretary of Energy. “The export capacity of these four projects alone is enough LNG to supply over half of Europe’s LNG import demand. With today’s authorizations, we are paving the way for more U.S. natural gas exports to bring energy security and prosperity to our allies around the world.”
The United States is now in its fourth consecutive year as a net exporter of natural gas. To date, the United States has exported LNG to 37 countries and is on track for its export capacity
