Introduction
The CP2 LNG and CP Express Pipeline Projects, proposed by Venture Global CP2 LNG, LLC and Venture Global CP Express, LLC, are authorized and currently under construction in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, with related pipeline facilities in Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes, Louisiana, and Jasper and Newton Counties, Texas.
On August 25, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the Commission’s authorization of the projects (Case No. 24-1291).
The Commission originally authorized the projects in June 2024. In a November 27, 2024 rehearing order, the Commission directed staff to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) addressing cumulative air quality impacts from nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). FERC staff issued the final SEIS on May 9, 2025, and on May 23, 2025, the Commission issued an order on rehearing sustaining its authorization. The Commission found the projects to be environmentally acceptable actions, subject to the environmental conditions in the authorization.
More information may be found in the dockets above in FERC’s eLibrary.
