2024 LNG Export Study: Energy, Economic, and Environmental Assessment of U.S. LNG Exports

요약

The Office of Fossil Energy & Carbon Management (FECM) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of availability of a multi- volume study updating DOE's understanding of the potential effects of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports on the domestic economy; U.S. households and consumers; communities that live near locations where natural gas is produced or exported; domestic and international energy security, including effects on U.S. trading partners; and the environment and climate (Study or 2024 LNG Export Study). The Study is composed of a summary report and four appendices containing three coordinated modeled analyses and a qualitative literature review. The Study materials are available on the DOE/FECM website at https:// www.energy.gov/fecm/regulation. DOE intends to use the Study to inform its public interest review of, and ultimately decisions in, certain applications to export LNG to countries with which the United States does not have a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy (non-FTA applications), including decisions in the above- referenced proceedings and fut
