The Trump administration granted its first approval for a project to export liquefied natural gas as the administration seeks to make good on a pledge to unleash a torrent of fuel shipments.
The US Department of Energy conditionally approved a license for Commonwealth LNG to ship millions of tons of LNG a year from a planned facility near Cameron, Louisiana. It is the first LNG project approved under Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who has vowed to “return to regular order” in granting licenses.
