The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued two orders authorizing Lake Charles Exports, LLC and Lake Charles LNG Export Company to export an additional 121 Bcf/year of LNG from the proposed Lake Charles LNG Liquefaction Project in Lake Charles, La. to nations with and without a Free Trade Agreement with the United States. The additional authorized volume reflects the quantity of LNG “produced from optimized engineering and design of the facility” and is non-additive because the proposed exports originate from the same liquefaction and export facility.
