High Stakes: U.S. LNG Projects Face Uncertain Future as DOE Toughens Stance on Growing Exports

Rapidan Energy Group’s Alex Munton, director of global gas service, joins NGI’s Senior LNG Editor Jamison Cocklin, to discuss how U.S. regulators are stepping up efforts to more closely scrutinize LNG export authorizations as global gas trading booms. They analyze the U.S. Department of Energy’s recent decision to more firmly impose deadlines for starting exports and establish conditions for acceptable delays. The conversation also explores how the policy has limited the path forward for Lake Charles LNG and the major hurdles it could create for about a dozen other U.S. export projects trying to move ahead.
