FERC Approves Rio Grande LNG Terminal, Issues Certificate for Pipeline

摘要

The Commission issued an order November 22, authorizing Rio Grande LNG, LLC (CP16-454) to site, construct and operate a natural gas liquefaction facility and a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal, and granting a certificate to Rio Bravo Pipeline Co., LLC (CP16-455) to construct and operate a new interstate natural gas pipeline system.[1] Commissioner Richard Glick dissented, and said the Commission had failed to consider the impact of constructing an LNG facility and pipeline on climate change.
