The U.S. DOE has announced approval of another non-FTA LNG export facility!

Happy Monday!  Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog! 

We hope everyone had a little fun and relaxation time over the weekend!  Let’s get started! 

You know we love a follow-up, and we blogged on Venture Global LNG Inc. in mid-April on how they have finally begun commercial operations at their Calcasieu Pass LNG Plant after three years of hiccups with their power island and other problems.  Well, they received some good news today!

Did anyone happen to read the DOE’s Fossil Energy and Carbon Management News Release on August 4, 2025, their announcement for, “DOE ISSUES FINAL NON-FTA LNG EXPORT AUTHORIZATION FOR ADDITIONAL EXPORTS FROM THE VENTURE GLOBAL CALCASIEU PASS PROJECT”?  In the article, it goes on to speak on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has completed its review of Venture Global’s application to export an additional 20 billion cubic feet of LNG to non-free trade agreement countries (non-FTA) and has approved the application.  The Secretary of Energy approved the application which aligned with American’s strive for energy dominance, and it’s finalized 2024 LNG export study (check out our Blog in May).  It will be interesting to see what else Venture Global’s LNG export facilities accomplish!  If you would like to read more of the Announcement from the U.S. DOE, please click the link: DOE Issues Final Non-FTA LNG Export Authorization for Additional Exports From the Venture Global Calcasieu Pass Project | Department of Energy.
