- The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said on Tuesday (6 September) it has denied a request from leading liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter Cheniere Energy Inc to exempt turbines at its two US Gulf Coast terminals from a hazardous pollution rule.
- Owners and operators of gas turbines had a Sept. 5 deadline to comply with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).
- Cheniere had asked the Biden administration to exempt a specific kind of turbine that it installed at its LNG terminals from the NESHAP limits, arguing they would reduce shipments from the top US exporter for an extended period and endanger the country’s efforts to ramp up supplies to Europe.
