DOE Report Details LNG Export Impacts

News summary

The Department of Energy (DOE) has released an analysis indicating that increased liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports would harm public health, raise domestic energy prices, and exacerbate climate change. The study highlights that LNG's climate impact could be greater than that of coal, and suggests that unchecked LNG exports could result in average household energy costs rising by over $122 annually by 2050. While the report does not outright ban LNG exports, it emphasizes the need for careful consideration in future authorizations due to potential negative effects on consumers and the environment. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm noted that while LNG exports have significantly increased, they threaten to displace renewable energy rather than coal. The DOE will open a 60-day public comment period on the findings, which are intended to guide future LNG export decisions amid ongoing legal and political challenges. Advocates are expected to utilize this period to push for more stringent regulations and a review of pending LNG export permits.
