Coal-Fired Emissions Exemptions, Peak U.S. Oil Production, TotalEnergies: Your Daily Energy News

---

News highlights gathered by Industrial Info and IIR Energy (Sugar Land, Texas) dealing with the energy markets.

COAL
Trump Exempts Dozens of Coal-Fired Plants from Mercury, Air Toxics Limits - The Trump administration has exempted 47 companies from regulations to curb mercury and air toxics for their coal-fired power plants for two years, according to a list of facilities published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Tuesday. The exemptions list is the latest move by the administration to use executive or emergency orders to immediately shield polluting facilities from compliance with air and water standards tightened by the Biden administration as the EPA undertakes a lengthier process to roll back those rules.

PRODUCTION
EIA: U.S. Oil Production to Peak in 2027 - U.S. oil production will peak at 14 million barrels per day (BBL/d) in 2027 and maintain that level through the end of the decade, before rapidly declining, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Tuesday. Oil output from the world's largest producer will fall to about 11.3 million BBL/d in 2050, from around 13.7 million BBL/d this year, the agency said in its Annual Energy Outlook. The forecasts show that the nearly two-decades old U.S. shale boom is drawing closer to its end, challenging U.S. President Donald Trump's vision of unleashing higher domestic oil supply. (Reuters)

LNG
TotalEnergies to Supply LNG to Dominican Power Plant - TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:TTE) (Courbevoie, France) has signed an agreement to supply 0.4 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) annually to Energia Natural Dominicana (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) to power a future electricity plant, part of the Dominican Republic's plan to rely less on fuel oil and coal. The deal is set to begin in mid-2027 and run for 15 years, with the price indexed to the U.S. benchmark Henry Hub, TotalEnergies said in a statement. The French oil major said the Caribbean island nation was a "natural outlet" for some of the U.S. LNG supply it has contracted to buy, which will reach 15 million metric tons by 2030. (Reuters)
