U.S. Department of Energy approved an LNG export permit extension last week for Delfin LNG LLC, granting additional time to commence exports from the project proposed for offshore Louisiana. The permit extension had been delayed by the Biden-Harris administration.

The issuance to Delfin marks the fourth LNG-related approval from DOE since President Trump took office, following an export approval to Commonwealth LNG on Feb. 14, an order on rehearing removing barriers for the use of LNG as bunkering fuel announced on Feb. 28, and an approval providing the Golden Pass LNG terminal more time to commence exports issued March 5.
