The DOE rehearing is the next legal step in fighting another carbon bomb and one of the largest U.S. infrastructure projects ever proposed

The Sierra Club and Earthjustice filed for rehearing of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) decision to grant approval for the exports from the proposed Alaska LNG project, a $38.7 billion fossil-fuel infrastructure plan to export liquified methane gas (LNG). Sierra Club and Earthjustice are also representing Cook Inletkeeper and the Center for Biological Diversity in the DOE rehearing request.

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) granted approval for the exports from the proposed Alaska LNG project. The Alaska LNG project is a $38.7 billion fossil-fuel infrastructure plan to export liquified natural gas (LNG) that would be capable of exporting 20 million metric tons of gas per year – a quantity that could result in over 50 million metric tons of carbon dioxide pollution emissions annually.
