Venture Global’s proposed CP2 plant has received their DOE Final non-FTA Export approval in less than ten months.

Happy Tuesday! 

We are back from Lake Charles, and after going to the Americas LNG Summit & Exhibition it seemed this was the perfect topic to blog on. 

We blogged on Venture Global’s non-Free Trade Agreement (non-FTA) for CP2 back in March and it received its FERC authorization in May.   The new and approved Department of Energy (DOE) has done it again!  Another LNG project approved.  In line with the DOE’s expediated approval system which was based on a study we blogged on in May of this year it has shown how things will move with the new system. 

Did anyone happen to read the DOE’s Fossil Energy Newsletter on October 21, 2025, their announcement for, “Energy Department Approves Final Export Authorization for Venture Global CP2 LNG”?  In the announcement, it goes on to speak of Venture Global and their 3rd LNG Plant in Louisiana called CP2 LNG plant in Cameron Parish will be able to check another box off their authorizations or permits needed for the project by receiving their Final non-Free Trade Agreement exporting permit from the Department of Energy.   Venture Global’s CP2 has the permission to ship up to 3.96 billion cubic feet of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) a day to non-FTA countries.  The authorization process for CP2 was completed in less than ten months.  Now CP2 has its Final non-FTA exporting permit and its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission permits and it may move on to making its final investment decision. We wish Venture Global’s CP2 luck moving their project along to the finish line!  If you would like to read more of the Announcement from the U.S. DOE, please click the link: Energy Department Approves Final Export Authorization for Venture Global CP2 LNG |Department of Energy.
