Liquified Natural Gas

Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)

The recent and rapid expansion of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) exports and its infrastructure is a climate disaster that if left unchecked will continue to disproportionately harm local communities and the environment.

Friends of the Earth works not only to ensure that there is a robust climate and public interest analysis put in place by U.S. federal agencies for the consideration of new LNG projects, but also that fossil fuel champions in political power are held accountable for their continued record not centering the climate, consumer interest, and environmental justice into every step of the LNG process. In addition, Friends of the Earth fights finance from U.S. government agencies for LNG projects domestically and all over the world.
