Venture Global’s final natgas venture in Plaquemines? US LNG exporter Venture Global is in discussions with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to introduce natural gas into the final phase of its Plaquemines LNG plant by tomorrow, Reuters reports, citing a regulatory filing from Monday. If FERC approves, Venture Global will be set to produce LNG at the Plaquemines plant nearly a year ahead of its scheduled deliveries to long-term customers. Once completed, the Plaquemines facility will be able to produce 27.2 mn metric tons of LNG each year.

The plant is already progressing: Global LNG exports rose by 3.1% y-o-y to 109.3 mn tons in 1Q 2025, driven by the expansion and acceleration of cargo shipments from Venture Global LNG’s Plaquemines project.

REMEMBER- The Trump administration granted Venture Global conditional approval in March to export natural gas from the firm’s planned CP2 project in Louisiana to countries without freetrade agreements with the US. The project will be able to export up to 3.96 bn cf/d of LNG, producing 20 mn tons of LNG per year.
