US DOE has licensed another LNG export project for trade with non-FTA countries.

Happy Monday!  Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog!  We hope you have had a fun and relaxing weekend.  Let’s get started.         

Did anyone happen to read the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrocarbon and Geothermal Energy Office Release on February 25, 2026, their announcement, “ENERGY DEPARTMENT APPROVES EXPORT EXPANSION AT CORPUS CHRISTI LNG”?  In the announcement, it goes on to speak on how the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) last week published approval of Cheniere Energy’s Corpus Christi Stage 3 project for exporting LNG to non-Free Trade Agreement (non-FTA) countries.  Cheniere’s Corpus Christi Stage 3 venture has already made their final investment decision for the project which will expand the facility with Trains 8 & 9.  We will keep you posted on anything interesting we hear out of the DOE.  If you would like to read more of the Announcement from the U.S. DOE’s Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office, please click the link: Energy Department Approves Export Expansion at Corpus Christi LNG | Department of Energy.
