Sierra Club Requests that DOE Employ Modeling Program to Assess Impacts of LNG Exports on Shale Gas Production

Sierra Club has requested that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) employ its National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) to assess the implications of LNG exports on shale gas production. Sierra Club argues that NEMS is specifically designed to project how supply will respond to demand and that use of NEMS will refute DOE’s statements in its order approving Sabine Pass’s LNG export application that the impacts of LNG exports on shale gas production are not foreseeable. Sierra Club’s request can be found on DOE’s website under Docket No. 10-111-LNG.
