Citing President Donald Trump’s plans to boost fuel exports, a company is trying to resuscitate a liquified natural gas (LNG) export terminal canceled in 2021.

On Feb. 24, 2025, OA Partners, an LNG transportation startup based in Arizona, filed a petition with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to retroactively revive Jordan Cove LNG in Coos County, Oregon. The project’s former developer, Calgary-based Pembina, canceled it after failing to secure the necessary environmental permits and years of opposition from local residents.

The petition cites Trump's executive order to seeking to “unleash American energy” and expedite permitting for LNG export projects, and asks the court to waive Oregon's state permitting requirements under the Clean Water Act.

If built, the Jordan Cove terminal would have been able to export up to 7.8 million metric tons of LNG every year; natural gas would have been supplied to the facility by a new 229-mile-long pipeline.
