US revision praised
March 29 (LNGJ) – Two energy industry groups in Washington DC, the US Natural Gas Supply Association (NGSA) and the US Center for Liquefied Natural Gas (CLNG), released statements on the rescinding by a White House order of speculative estimates on environmental issues limiting energy projects. Dena E. Wiggins, President and Chief Executive of the NGSA, said: “The existing National Environmental Policy Act project review process is already stringent, extensive and thorough. By attempting to include unquantifiable and speculative upstream impacts in an expanded guidance, the Council on Environmental Quality risked hindering development of the very infrastructure that has enabled natural gas to reduce emissions.”

The US Center for Liquefied Natural Gas has written to the US Energy Secretary Rick Perry and congressional leaders to urge approval of all pending LNG export permits and for an expedited regulatory process underpinned by legislation to unleash potential for creating up to 450,000 jobs by 2035.
