NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Energy Department has announced that a Lake Charles liquefied natural gas terminal has been granted conditional approval to export LNG to countries that do not have a Free Trade Agreement with the United States.
Lake Charles Exports LLC had already been granted authority, in 2011, to export domestic natural gas from its Lake Charles terminal to countries with which the U.S. has free trade agreements for gas.
Wednesday's announcement said the conditional authority to export to non-FTA countries is subject to environmental review and final approval. The conditional authorization is for the export of LNG at a rate of up to 2 billion cubic feet per day for 20 years.
