Pollution control laws are an obstacle to gas projects in America

May 21, 2024

American liquefied gas projects face challenges due to new laws aimed at improving air quality and reducing pollution.

The new laws include additional tests to evaluate the impact of liquefied gas projects on the surrounding air, and aim to improve air quality in affected industrial areas.

Environmental activists are closely monitoring the impact of these laws on investments amounting to billions of dollars, and are demanding compliance with new air quality standards and analyzing the impact of projects on citizens.

Five projects in the American liquefied gas sector are awaiting the decision of the Energy Regulatory Commission, including the “CB2” project and another project by the “Chenier” company.

Environmental protection groups warn against relying on gas for the coming decades, stressing the necessity of moving to cleaner fuels.

On the other hand, supporters of the liquefied gas industry believe that the new laws add a burden on investments, while climate activists expect more moves to limit these projects.
