Liquefied 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.
The Biden Administration’s DOE released its long-awaited, critical analysis of the impacts of liquified natural gas (LNG) exports, which shows clear evidence of LNG’s climate, economic, national security, and public health dangers.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is expected to approve Venture Global’s massive CP2 LNG project at its Open Meeting today.
A new report shows that expanding LNG export infrastructure would primarily benefit Big Oil and speculators while harming US utility customers and causing a massive surge in climate pollution.
We joined over 300 organizations from over 40 countries across the globe in a letter calling on the Biden administration to abandon its support for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) at COP28.
