PITTSBURGH—President Donald Trump’s national energy emergency declaration and repeal of the Biden administration’s liquefied natural gas export permit pause have revived prospects of building an export terminal in the Philadelphia area.
It would be the first gas export port on the United States’ Atlantic coast and would expand markets for operators in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio, who say their output is constrained by the lack of pipelines in New York and New England and by maxed-out capacities to funnel gas to Gulf of America export terminals.
