US regulators on Wednesday proposed rules to speed construction of LNG projects and expand export capacity. The proposal from the Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) would update the safety framework for LNG facilities and incorporate National Fire Protection Association standards on siting, design, construction, operation and maintenance. DOT Secretary Sean Duffy said the rule would allow operators to adopt new technologies to boost safety and cut costs, with estimated annual savings of about $100m, and is part of the Trump administration’s push to accelerate energy infrastructure and lower consumer costs. The US, already the world’s largest LNG exporter, is expected to add roughly 100 mln tonnes/year of LNG capacity by the end of the decade.
