Engie Drops US LNG Deal Over Emissions Pressure

摘要

French utility Engie has dropped talks over a potential LNG supply deal with US company NextDecade following alleged pressure from the French government over environmental concerns. Engie was in talks with NextDecade over a $7 billion, 20-year US LNG supply deal from NextDecade’s 27 million ton per year Rio Grande LNG liquefaction plant in Brownsville, Texas. The deal was reportedly for the supply of 2.9 million tons of LNG to be shipped between 2025 and 2045.
