DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[Docket No. 21–131–LNG] 

Venture Global CP2 LNG, LLC; 

Application for Long-Term 

Authorization To Export Liquefied 

Natural Gas to Non-Free Trade 

Agreement Nations 

AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy and 

Carbon Management, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Fossil Energy 

and Carbon Management (FECM) of the 

Department of Energy (DOE) gives 

notice (Notice) of receipt of an 

Application (Application), filed on 

December 2, 2021, and supplemented 

on December 17, 2021, by Venture 

Global CP2 LNG, LLC (CP2 LNG). CP2 

LNG requests long-term, multi-contract 

authorization to export domestically 

produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 

a volume equivalent to 1,446 billion 

cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas 

from the proposed CP2 LNG Project 

(Project), to be located in Cameron 

Parish, Louisiana. CP2 LNG filed the 

Application under the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA). 

DATES: Protests, motions to intervene, or 

notices of intervention, as applicable, 

and written comments are to be filed 

electronically as detailed in the Public 

Comment Procedures section no later 

than 4:30 p.m., Eastern time, March 11, 

2022. 

ADDRESSES: 

Electronic Filing by email: fergas@

hq.doe.gov. 

Although DOE has routinely accepted 

public comment submissions through a 

variety of mechanisms, including postal 

mail and hand delivery/courier, DOE 

has found it necessary to make 

temporary modifications to the 

comment submission process in light of 

the ongoing Covid–19 pandemic. DOE is 

currently accepting only electronic 

submissions at this time. If a commenter 

finds that this change poses an undue 

hardship, please contact Office of 

Resource Sustainability staff at (202) 

586–2627 or (202) 586–4749 to discuss 

the need for alternative arrangements. 

Once the Covid–19 pandemic health 

emergency is resolved, DOE anticipates 

resuming all of its regular options for 

public comment submission, including 

postal mail and hand delivery/courier.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Application, CP2 LNG requests 

authorization to export domestically 

produced LNG from its proposed Project 

to be located on the east side of the 

Calcasieu Ship Channel, and the nearby 

Monkey Island, in Cameron Parish, 

Louisiana.2 CP2 LNG seeks to export 

this LNG in a volume equivalent to 

1,446 Bcf/yr of natural gas on a nonadditive basis to: (i) Any nation with 

which the United States has entered 

into a free trade agreement (FTA) 

requiring national treatment for trade in 

natural gas (FTA nations), and (ii) any 

other nation with which trade is not 

prohibited by U.S. law or policy (nonFTA nations). This Notice applies only 

to the portion of CP2 LNG’s Application 

requesting authority to export LNG to 

non-FTA countries pursuant to section 

3(a) of the NGA, 15 U.S.C. 717b(a). DOE 

will review CP2 LNG’s request for a 

FTA export authorization separately 

pursuant to section 3(c) of the NGA, 15 

U.S.C. 717b(c). 

CP2 LNG requests the authorization 

on its own behalf and as agent for other 

entities that will hold title to the LNG 

at the point of export. CP2 LNG is 

seeking the long-term non-FTA 

authorization for a term to commence 

on the earlier of the date of first export 

or seven years from the date the 

requested authorization is granted, and 

to extend through December 31, 2050. 

Additionally, CP2 LNG requests that its 

long-term authorization allow for the 

export of a portion of the proposed 

volume on a short-term or spot basis, 

consistent with DOE policy. 

Additional details can be found in 

CP2 LNG’s Application, posted on the 

DOE website at: https://

www.energy.gov/fecm/articles/ventureglobal-cp2-lng-llc-fe-dkt-no-21-131-lng. 

DOE Evaluation 

In reviewing the Application, DOE 

will consider any issues required by law 

or policy. DOE will consider domestic 

need for the natural gas, as well as any 

other issues determined to be 

appropriate, including whether the 

arrangement is consistent with DOE’s 

policy of promoting competition in the 

marketplace by allowing commercial 

parties to freely negotiate their own 

trade arrangements. As part of this 

analysis, DOE will consider the study 

entitled, Macroeconomic Outcomes of 

Market Determined Levels of U.S. LNG 

Exports (2018 LNG Export Study),3 and 

DOE’s response to public comments 

received on that Study.4

Additionally, DOE will consider the 

following environmental documents: 

• Addendum to Environmental 

Review Documents Concerning Exports 

of Natural Gas From the United States, 

79 FR 48132 (Aug. 15, 2014); 5

• Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas 

Perspective on Exporting Liquefied 

Natural Gas From the United States, 79 

FR 32260 (June 4, 2014); 6 and 

• Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas 

Perspective on Exporting Liquefied 

Natural Gas From the United States: 

2019 Update, 84 FR 49278 (Sept. 19, 

2019), and DOE’s response to public 

comments received on that study.7

Parties that may oppose this 

Application should address these issues 

and documents in their comments and 

protests, as well as other issues deemed 

relevant to the Application. 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., 

requires DOE to give appropriate 

consideration to the environmental 

effects of its proposed decisions. No

final decision will be issued in this 

proceeding until DOE has met its 

environmental responsibilities.
