The Biden administration intentionally filled the final draft version of a study that would have undermined its January 2024 decision to suspend approvals for liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects, according to four Departments of Energy (DOE) sources.

Former Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and former President Joe Biden announced the LNG Freeze in January 2024, saying it will be in effect until DOE can conduct new research into the climate and economic impacts of LNG export growth. Biden DOE completed the draft of the survey in 2023 and subsequently buried it as the findings of the first version contradicted the administration’s rationale for LNG Freeze.

“The Energy Bureau has learned that Granholm’s former secretary and the Biden White House intentionally filled a lot of data and published a distorted study to trust the benefits of American LNG,” a DOE source told DCNF. “They prioritized their own political ambitions for the interests of the American people. The administration intentionally deceived the American people to advance agenda that harmed America’s energy security, the environment and the lives of America.” (Related: Biden Harris administrator accused of deceiving America on the way to freeze gas exports)

Biden Doe essentially completed the final draft version of the LNG Impacts Study by the end of September 2023, ready to present it to that Biden official soon after, Trump Doe sources told DCNF. According to a source at DOE, a specific iteration of the study spoke to the DCNF, finding that an increase in US LNG exports actually results in reduced global emissions compared to other scenarios.

That particular finding conflicts with Granholm’s analysis of the final version of the study published in December 2024, claiming that an increase in LNG exports would increase global greenhouse gas emissions.

At the end of September 2023, Biden administration officials left a comment on the final draft version instructing others to stop it despite the other languages ​​of the document, which states that the final version of the other languages ​​are scheduled to be released around the end of September 2023, Trump Doe source told DCNF. According to DOE sources, that version of the study was never published, and Biden Doe thought it was a “working document.”

Additionally, Biden Doe appears to have deleted a number of pages that appeared in the September 2024 draft version. The final version of the report, released at the end of 2024, told DCNF.

The September 2023 and December 2024 paper versions have the same name, but the final version, which was released to the public, did not include an analysis of a particular type of LNG export known as market effect considerations, a Trump DOE source told DCNF. That particular analysis is included in the buried version of the September 2023 study, but it was found that US LNG exports, not the final product, reduce global emissions by ejecting more sources of contamination overseas, and the absence from the December 2024 version was able to distort the findings of the final report on the increase in LNG exports.

Evidence that the Biden administration filled the first politically inconvenient version of the research and misinterpreted the American people in the process will soon be sent to Congress and the people, DOE sources told DCNF.

Granholm and Biden each imply that Trump Doe sources had frozen LNG export approvals in order to pursue an answer that they say has already been discovered, and that Biden officials have chosen to ignore it. Specifically, both Biden and Granholm suggest that the rise in LNG exports is purely negative for the global climate, and Granholm has clearly said that even after the final study was published in December 2024.

“During this period, we will be looking closely at the impact of LNG exports on energy costs, US energy security and the environment. This suspension on new LNG approvals sees the climate crisis about what it is. statement The day the suspension was announced. “Maga Republicans willfully deny the urgency of the climate crisis and denounce the American people of a dangerous future, but my administration will not be satisfied. We will not give in to special interests.”

In particular, House Speaker Mike Johnson recall When Biden asked the president in January 2025 about his decision to freeze LNG approval in January 2024, he added that he “really didn’t know he signed it,” Republicans left the impression that Biden didn’t actually actually run the country.

doe It is listed “Start” a review to determine whether an increase in LNG exports is in the public interest in the statement on January 26, 2024 on the day the suspension was announced.

Granholm I insisted The final version of the study, published in December 2024, shows that “in all scenarios, an increase in LNG exports leads to an increase in net global emissions,” indicating that “the business approach is not recommended, even though it is sustainable.” When the suspension was first announced in January 2024, Granholm said in a statement that the review “ensures that DOE will continue to be a responsible actor using the latest economic and environmental analytics.”

“At the time, Granholm said they literally concealed the latest economic and environmental analyses to the public because they were contradicting the prohibition that they were trying to enact. They knew the facts well before they made a report that Cherry had chosen the data.” “When you see what they were saying at the same time as what they hid, it becomes very clear that they were not interested in following science to make decisions in the best interest of the American people.
