Two US Department of Transportation agencies are advancing a plan supported by the Trump administration allowing LNG to be shipped via railcars.

摘要

The proposed rule was announced by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the Federal Railroad Administration. The proposal came under immediate fire from congressional Democrats and virtually all green groups and coalitions. In June, the US House of Representatives OK’d an appropriations bill amendment prohibiting federal officials from issuing a special permit to Energy Transport Solutions – a division of New Fortress Energy – from moving LNG by 100-car unit trains.
