The majority of CP2’s volumes are sold out to European buyers (primarily Germany) and a handful of portfolio players, altogether accounting for around two-thirds of the long-term contracts.

No US LNG project took FID since January 2024, when the Biden administration imposed its temporary pause on non-FTA LNG export authorisation… this was a major blow to project developers in the US.

Now that this is over, the race for FIDs is on… and we have a clear contender to break the ice. CP2 has all of what it takes: long-term contracts, topnotch low-cost tech and available cheap feedgas.

What is your view? Will US LNG FIDs be back in 2025? Which projects would you bet on?
