Energy Department approves immediate additional LNG exports from Plaquemines LNG

“Our mission to enable secure, reliable, and affordable energy has never been more important than now,” said Kyle Haustveit, Assistant Secretary of the Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office. “I am pleased that DOE can take this action to be able to make an immediate difference to help add to global supplies of LNG.”

Plaquemines LNG commenced exports in December 2024 and has rapidly been able to increase its export levels to over 3 billion ft³/d. This authorisation will allow for an immediate increase in the volumes of LNG that Plaquemines LNG can export to non-FTA countries, which import the majority of US LNG.
