WASHINGTON (March 19, 2025) – Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) announced that President Trump and U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright approved a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export authorization for Venture Global’s CP2 LNG in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
The project reflects a commitment to restoring American energy dominance. Venture Global’s authorization to export LNG to non-free trade agreement countries from their CP2 facility will yield economic benefits to the United States and improve energy security for U.S. allies and trading partners over the export term through 2050. Venture Global will be able to export up to 3.96 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas as LNG.
“Today’s decision supports American energy production and the people of Louisiana, said Congressman Higgins. “We are delivering on our promise to restore American energy dominance. My office will continue to advocate for the growth of America’s LNG industry, which provides our nation and the world with clean, reliable, and affordable energy.”
In December 2024, Congressman Higgins sent a letter to incoming U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright calling for immediate action to overturn the Biden administration’s LNG permitting moratorium. Congressman Higgins also asked Secretary Wright to expedite the review of pending applications, including Venture Global’s CP2 project and the permit for Commonwealth LNG’s. Read the letter here.
