LNG

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chairman Kevin McIntyre has died at his home in Arlington, Virginia, after an illness. He was 58 and had been nominated in August 2017 to head the FERC, the main regulatory body for LNG projects and other energy-related ventures.

US regulators have started the pre-filing environmental review process for the Pointe LNG liquefaction project proposed for the East Bank of the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana, which would be the second riverbank export facility planned for south of New Orleans.
