Already shocked by the Biden Administration’s pause on new export authorizations, a US court recently delivered the latest blow to LNG developers, overturning FERC permits for two projects and sending them back to regulators to be fixed, a process that could take months. Left in doubt is whether one project that had already secured financing and started construction, can continue work. Is this a harbinger of things to come as environmentalists take a more aggressive position on US LNG and US elections approach?

Join Poten & Partners as our team of industry experts discuss the mounting regulatory headwinds US LNG projects are facing, implications for the wider industry and who potentially benefits from the uncertainty. Our team will discuss:

• What regulatory headwinds is the US LNG industry facing?
• What impact could the US presidential election have?
• Does the court ruling vacating active FERC permits have broader significance?
• Will environmentalists be emboldened by the recent court rulings and will they become more aggressive in trying to stop US LNG projects? Are they already doing so?
• What other US projects could be in legal peril?
• What US and international projects could potentially benefit from this uncertainty? 

Join us for a panel discussion led by the Poten’s Global Head of Business Intelligence Jason Feer and including:

• Senior Advisor and former CEO of Cabot LNG Gordon Shearer
• Senior US LNG Analyst Sergio Chapa
