US fast tracks natural gas exports to Central America

The US Department of Energy announced a proposed rule Friday that fast-tracks small scale export of natural gas to countries in Central and South America.

Many of the countries in the region do not generate enough liquified natural gas demand to support the economies of scale required to justify large imports of natural gas. The small-scale natural market has developed as a solution to the lack of demand that limits gas exports to some regions.
