U.S. Grants Five-Year Extension to Delfin LNG Export Permit
(Reuters) — The U.S. has approved an extension to Delfin LNG's free trade permit, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Monday at the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston.
Delfin is developing a floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) project off the coast of Louisiana that could see four plants with a capacity to produce 13.3 million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) of the superchilled gas.
It has been seeking a five-year extension to its non-free trade area export (non-FTA) permit to allow it to export LNG to countries that do not have free trade agreements with the United States, citing delays in constructing the plants due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The approval is the fourth since the pro-energy administration of President Donald Trump came to power.
Wright said he is pleased to be part of the dismantling of the Biden administration's energy policy.
The Biden administration in 2024 paused approvals for LNG export permits pending a study looking at the economic and environmental impact of U.S. LNG expansion.
