Cheniere Energy Inc., looking to help global customers meet climate goals under the Paris Accord, is turning to a former Obama administration energy expert as it expands its liquified natural gas exports.
Christopher Smith, who helped develop the U.S. Energy Department’s so-called life cycle emissions analysis for natural gas and coal, has joined Cheniere’s Washington office. The analysis was set up to assess the overall greenhouse gas impacts of a fuel, including during its production and use.
