Today, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced the establishment of a Division of Minerals Sustainability. In a statement on its website, the DOE says the division was created to bring an increased focus to securing a US critical minerals supply chain that will transform the US energy and manufacturing systems to make them cleaner, more resilient, and more secure.
“Improving the domestic availability and supply of critical minerals, including rare earth elements, is a priority for the Trump Administration. Not only are these minerals vital to US national security, they are also essential components in technologies entering the marketplace including next-generation nuclear, renewables, innovative fossil technologies, storage technologies, and electric vehicles,” said Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy Steven Winberg. “This Division is about the minerals that the Nation requires to power the 21st century, support our national defense needs,

Department of Energy Issues Policy Statement Streamlining Short-Term LNG Export Authorizations
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the issuance of a policy statement that removes the requirement for long-term LNG export authorization holders to seek separate short-term authorizations to export the same volumes approved for long-term exports. By consolidating this authority in a single authorization without any increase in total approved export volumes, DOE believes this action will streamline its regulatory process.
“This policy is a sensible and concrete way DOE can remove unnecessary regulatory burdens for LNG exporters. Those exports bring benefits to our economy, while also helping to reduce global emissions,” said Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette.
