The U.S. DOE has removed another obstacle in their strive to get American LNG exported.

Happy Wednesday!   

Did anyone happen to read the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Release on April 1, 2025, their announcement, “Energy Department Takes Action to Remove Barriers for Requests to LNG Export Commencement Date Extensions”?  In the announcement, it goes on to speak on how the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said they have made a change for those who need to delay their commencement date by removing the previous administration’s rigid measures for approved LNG projects.  The new measure will be based on commonsense.   The DOE’s new policy will still examine a company’s application for an extension of their Non-Free Trade Agreement (non-FTA) export permit by examining the status of construction and they will take into consideration the cause of the delay which may have been out of the company’s control.  A non-FTA export permit for is seven years.  Since the new administration has taken the reins there have been a few extensions granted.  If you would like to read more of the Announcement from the U.S. DOE’s Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Office, please click the link: Energy Department Takes Action to Remove Barriers for Requests to LNG ExportCommencement Date Extensions.
