U.S. natural-gas export capacity is being readied by the Obama administration to ease Europe’s reliance on Russian fuel in the coming years, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said.
Two liquefied natural gas projects will probably get environmental approval this summer and obtain final consent “fairly soon,” Moniz said in an interview with Bloomberg News in Rome after taking part in the Group of Seven nations energy summit. Moniz said he gave his G-7 colleagues an update on the projects.
