The Dow Chemical Company Research Report

On November 15, 2013, The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) issued a statement regarding the US Department of Energy's (DOE) approval of the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at the Freeport LNG facility. The Company stated that this decision of the DOE brings the total amount of export licenses approved to approximately 6.7 bcf/day, which is equivalent to almost 10% of current US consumption. "Companies from around the world are rushing to invest in the United States to take advantage of affordable natural gas, helping to grow our economy and create jobs," said Andrew Liveris, Chairman and CEO of Dow. "We have approached the right balance for this strategic resource, and must therefore be extremely cautious going forward. The most recent data makes clear that sending large volumes of American natural gas abroad will raise consumer energy prices, discourage manufacturing investment, and impede economic growth and job creation."
