On March 5, 2019, DOE issued Order No. 4346 to Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC (Calcasieu Pass) under section 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act. This Order authorizes Calcasieu Pass to export U.S.-sourced liquefied natural gas (LNG) to any country with which the United States has not entered into a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas, and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy (non-FTA countries).
Calcasieu Pass is authorized to export the LNG in a volume equivalent to 620 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year of natural gas (1.7 Bcf/day) from the proposed Venture Global Calcasieu Pass Project, to be located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
At Calcasieu Pass’s request, its applications filed in FE Docket Nos. 13-69-LNG, 14-88-LNG, and 15-25-LNG were consolidated for purposes of this Order.
