CLNG is the top U.S. LNG trade association. Charlie manages the operations of CLNG and is responsible for member relations, media engagement, advocacy and government affairs activities. He leads efforts to advance the U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry's economic and environmental agenda with CLNG member companies, regulators, legislators and other key stakeholders. AMP, He has testified in both chambers of the U.S. Congress, and frequently speaks with key Hill and White House staff, FERC and other policymakers, on the importance and benefits of LNG exports and regulatory certainty. He has led hundreds of discussions on CLNG priority issues at conferences, has appeared on leading television news programs like CNBC's Squawk Box and is regularly quoted as an industry expert in the media, including The New York Times, The Houston Chronicle, Bloomberg News, Politico and The Hill. Charlie has been instrumental in leading the CLNG team to its recent successes, including securing modernized risk-based LNG safety regulation in PHMSA reauthorization legislation passed by Congress; long-term extension of non-FTA export authorizations through 2050. He is a fierce advocate for pipeline and infrastructure permitting improvements. He is also a key part of the team developing NGSA's annual Winter Outlook forecast on natural gas supply and customer demand, adding context to how LNG exports impact price pressure. Prior to joining CLNG, Charlie worked at America's Natural Gas Alliance and at a major exploration and production company in various roles focused on natural gas market development and government relations. He graduated from The Ohio State University with a bachelor's degree in Communications.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND PERMITTING STATUS PLANNED ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND PERMITTING PENDING ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND PERMITTING PROCESSES COMPLETED SECTOR Carbon Capture and Sequestration CATEGORY Project Category FAST-41 Covered Projects LEAD AGENCY Department of Energy View FAST-41 Postings_ty_6=tel Description: Pelican Renewables, LLC and its affiliates propose to develop a carbon sequestration hub on Rindge Tract, a large island in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, located approximately 7 miles from the Port of Stockton. The Projects primary goal is to capture, utilize, and/or sequester CO2 emissions. The Project will use Pelican's existing ethanol production plant at the Port of Stockton for the anchor source of carbon dioxide to kick-start Hub operations. The existing rail terminal at the plant will be used to receive carbon dioxide from external sources by rail, where it can be barged to Rindge Tract for storage. Additionally, a Pelican affiliate, ZuCO2 Transport, LLC, will develop a barge-based CO2 transport system that will move CO2 from the Port of Stockton and from external sources to the Rindge Tract sequestration site.
