U.S. natural gas has started flowing to Venture Global's Plaquemines LNG export plant in Louisiana, which is currently under construction, according to LSEG data. This development follows the approval of the controversial project by U.S. energy regulators despite climate objections and a pause on new export projects by the Biden administration. The project, led by Virginia-based Venture Global, has faced criticism for its potential contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. The approval marks a significant step in the establishment of what would be the largest LNG terminal in the United States. This mostly happened on Biden’s watch.
