permitting Reform

Enacting comprehensive permitting reform will streamline the federal review processes to expedite infrastructure that will help solve the energy and climate crises.

Permitting reform is a climate imperative

Comprehensive permitting reform legislation that supports the simultaneous buildout of natural gas and other energy infrastructure is needed to unlock the decarbonizing tools at our disposal.

Domestic Policy

Permitting reform will streamline the development of natural gas infrastructure, such as pipelines and LNG terminals.

Global Impact

Improved infrastructure will lead to increased LNG exports, which help replace global coal and reduce emissions.

10+

10+ year development cycles and incomplete projects are preventing abundant American energy from reaching consumers here and abroad.

X2

The U.S. will need to double its LNG exports by 2028 to coal-dependent countries to encourage coal-to-gas switching.

30%

Global power sector emissions would be reduced by 30% if the world’s top 5% worst emitting power plants switched to natural gas.
