DOE/EA-2176: Corpus Christi Liquefaction Amendment Project

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) prepared an EA that assesses the potential environmental impacts of a proposal to export an additional quantity of liquified natural gas in a volume equivalent to 108.16 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas. DOE, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, has an obligation under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act to authorize the import and export of natural gas, including LNG, unless it finds that the import or export is not consistent with the public interest.
