The Alaska Journal of Commerce reports the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Moniz recently stated that DOE will process Alaska LNG’s export application on a streamlined basis, given that DOE’s public interest determination for the proposal largely will be a formality since the export of Alaskan LNG will not affect gas markets in the lower-48 states. The report states that DOE will follow its suspended practice and grant Alaska LNG an export license conditioned upon satisfactory completion of an environmental review of its proposed export facility.
