But it doesn\u2019t stop there. We believe this report shows that if built, these projects would put global climate goals even further out of reach.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The report analyzes five major U.S. LNG projects \u2013 Venture Global CP2, Cameron LNG Phase II, Sabine Pass Stage V, Cheniere Corpus Christi LNG Midscale 8-9 [1], and Freeport LNG Expansion \u2013 and finds that each and every one fails a \u201cclimate test\u201d derived from models in the <a href=\"https:\/\/fossil.energy.gov\/app\/docketindex\/docket\/index\/30\">Department of Energy\u2019s (DOE) 2024 LNG Export<\/a> public interest studies. Contrary to industry claims, the report shows that decreasing methane venting and leaking during gas drilling, transportation, and liquefaction is not enough to make these projects \u201cclimate neutral.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cFocusing the Department of Energy\u2019s model on individual US LNG terminals that are yet to be built, we found that they all result in increased greenhouse gas emissions because they pollute the climate, displace renewable energy, and drive up gas demand,\u201d says <strong>Lorne Stockman, Oil Change International Research Director and report co-author.<\/strong> \u201cIt is very clear that governments, investors, and insurers must stop supporting the reckless LNG buildout now and instead invest in a rapid and just transition to renewable energy that will protect our communities from toxic pollution and climate-fueled superstorms.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Future administrations could revoke export authorizations that were rubber-stamped under Trump based on their failure to pass the DOE \u201cclimate test,\u201d which introduces a new layer of uncertainty to these already-risky projects. This report adds to a rapidly growing body of evidence that financing U.S. LNG is not a sound decision for insurers, investors, or purchasers \u2013 something the EU and America\u2019s Asian allies must keep in mind as President Trump pressures them to increase their imports of U.S. LNG under threat of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/donald-trump-says-eu-must-buy-350b-of-us-energy-to-get-tariff-relief\/\">sweeping tariffs.<\/a> \u201cCountries with climate commitments, such as those in the EU, should be very wary of the climate cost of importing US LNG,\u201d says <strong>Dr. Dakota Raynes, Senior Manager of Research, Policy, and Data at Earthworks and report co-author<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cFossil fuel dependency has long externalized its true costs, forcing communities to bear the burden of pollution, sickness, and economic instability,\u201d says <strong>James Hiatt, founder and director of For a Better Bayou. \u201c<\/strong>For decades the oil and gas industry has known about the devastating health and climate impacts of its operations, yet it continues to expand, backed by billions in private and public financing. These harms are not isolated &#8211; they\u2019re systemic, and they threaten all of us. This report is a call to conscience. It\u2019s time we stop propping up deadly false solutions and start investing in a transition to energy systems that sustain life, not sacrifice it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<p><strong>Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/failing-the-climate-test\/\">full report here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>A recording of yesterday\u2019s press briefing with authors, community members, and other subject experts <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1J9hGAo9BkXIgmBRKYSYwRq0Io5cuUW5u\/view\">can be found here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>[1] As of the drafting of the report, all five were awaiting a final investment decision.

In March,Venture Global told regulators and customers that issues with the Calcasieu Pass LNG facility will delay the start of commercial operations. They described the issues as \u201cfailures in the five horizontal heat recovery steam generator (HRSGs) units that facilitate combined-cycle power generation\u201d and, more specifically, \u201cleaks in the welds between the upper carbon steel header and finned tubes of the HRSG units\u201d that will \u201crequire extensive repairs and replacements.\u201d These failures affect the on-site power plant\u2014a seemingly basic module that provides energy for gas liquefaction. The announcement is another troubling sign for Calcasieu Pass, where massive methane gas releases and high rates of flaring have already raised concerns since pre-commercial operations started last year."},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/new-analysis-finds-lng-projects-fail-the-climate-test\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"http:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"New Analysis of Five Major U.S. LNG Export Projects Finds Every One Fails the \u201cClimate Test\u201d\u00a0"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/","name":"Greenpeace USA","description":"Greenpeace","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/#organization","name":"Greenpeace USA","url":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/cd951b96-greenpeace-logo-1.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/cd951b96-greenpeace-logo-1.png","width":299,"height":51,"caption":"Greenpeace USA"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/greenpeaceusa","https:\/\/x.com\/greenpeaceusa","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/greenpeaceusa\/"],"description":"Greenpeace USA is committed to transforming the country\u2019s unjust social, environmental, and economic systems from the ground up to address the climate crisis, safeguard our planet for future generations, advance racial justice, and build an economy that puts people over profits.","email":"connect@greenpeace.us","telephone":"1-800-722-6995"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/#\/schema\/person\/a26fda4d58e0feb1ff16209a6aa5b1ed","name":"Katie Nelson","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocL_3coFKMeZQWra9WK9KBMWZBIXsGcRPkjeb7gQy07QmmCivS9n=s96-c","contentUrl":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocL_3coFKMeZQWra9WK9KBMWZBIXsGcRPkjeb7gQy07QmmCivS9n=s96-c","caption":"Katie Nelson"},"url":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/author\/knelson\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15107"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":76006,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15107\/revisions\/76006"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15107"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=15107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
