S 1707 United States Senate · 118th Congress

BAN Fossil Fuel Exports Act

The BAN Fossil Fuel Exports Act would give the President authority to restrict U.S. exports of coal, petroleum, natural gas, and energy-related equipment. It specifically prohibits exports of U.S. crude oil and natural gas, with possible exemptions if the President determines they serve national interest. Exemptions could be based on destination, purpose, or other criteria, but must align with the bill's goals. This directly affects U.S. energy producers and exporters seeking international markets for fossil fuels.
