The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued final authorization for Bear Head LNG Corporation and Bear Head LNG (USA), LLC (together Bear Head LNG) to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) derived from U.S. produced natural gas to countries that do not have free trade agreements (FTA) with the United States.

The DOE decision is a determination that these exports are not inconsistent with the U.S. public interest. This approval, in addition to DOE's prior approval for exports to FTA countries, now allows Bear Head LNG to export LNG to countries with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy.
