The American Petroleum Institute (API) has issued a statement welcoming the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) decision to authorise Golden Pass Products LLC to export LNG to countries that do not have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US.
The LNG will be exported from the Golden Pass Terminal near Sabine Pass, in Jefferson County, Texas, USA.
Marty Durbin, the API’s Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, said: “The United States leads the world in production and refining of oil and natural gas, and that competitive advantage presents a valuable opportunity to grow our economy through energy exports.”
