Venture Global CP2 LNG, LLC, Venture 

Global CP Express, LLC; Notice of 

Schedule for the Preparation of a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement for the CP2 LNG Project and 

CP Express Pipeline Project 

On June 27, 2024, the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) issued an Order Granting 

Authorizations Under Sections 3 and 7 

of the Natural Gas Act (Authorization 

Order) for Venture Global CP2 LNG, 

LLC’s CP2 LNG Project and Venture 

Global CP Express, LLC’s CP Express 

Pipeline Project.1 On July 29, 2024, a 

coalition of petitioners (Petitioners) 

filed a timely request for rehearing and 

motion for stay of the Authorization 

Order. On November 27, 2024, the 

Commission issued an Order 

Addressing Arguments Raised on 

Rehearing And Setting Aside Prior 

Order, In Part (Rehearing Order).2 The 

Rehearing Order set aside the 

Authorization Order, in part, regarding 

the Commission’s analysis of the 

cumulative air quality impacts specific 

to the projects’ nitrogen dioxide (NO2) 

and particles with an aerodynamic 

diameter of less than or equal to 2.5 

microns (PM2.5) emissions, for the 

purpose of conducting additional 

environmental review in light of an 

opinion issued by the U.S. Court of 

Appeals for the District of Columbia 

Circuit.3 The Rehearing Order further 

stated that these issues and other air 

quality issues raised on rehearing by 

Petitioners will be addressed in a future 

order to be issued upon completion of 

an environmental review, as described 

below. 

Schedule for Environmental Review 

This notice identifies the planned 

schedule for the completion of a 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement (SEIS) for the projects to 

address the issues related to the 

Commission’s analysis of the 

cumulative air quality impacts specific 

to the projects’ NO2 and PM2.5

emissions, as raised by Petitioners.4

This planned schedule is based on 

issuance of the draft SEIS in February 

2025, opening a 45-day comment 

period. 

Issuance of Notice of Availability of the 

final SEIS—May 9, 2025 

This notice identifies the

for the projects no later than: 

Issuance of Final Order—July 24, 2025 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, additional notice will be 

provided. 

Projects Description 

The CP2 LNG Project includes a 

liquefaction plant with 20 million 

metric tons per annum (MTPA) of 

nameplate liquefaction capacity and a 

peak achievable capacity of 28 MTPA 

under optimal operating conditions 

consisting of eighteen liquefaction 

blocks, four aboveground full 

containment LNG storage tanks, and two 

marine LNG loading docks. 

The CP Express Pipeline Project 

involves an approximately 85.4-milelong mainline pipeline from Jasper 

County, Texas, to the LNG Project in 

Cameron Parish, Louisiana, an 

approximately 6.0-mile-long lateral 

pipeline in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, 

and associated aboveground facilities in 

Louisiana and Texas. The pipeline 

project is designed to transport feed gas 

to the CP2 LNG Project and will allow 

CP Express to provide up to 4,400,000 

dekatherms per day of firm 

transportation service.
