过去两年的事件造成了一系列重大的社会挑战. The COVID-19 pandemic, 乌克兰战争和普遍的通胀压力扰乱了全球经济, 同时也强调了新能源基础设施在支持经济增长方面的关键作用, energy security and global peace and stability.
森普拉正在帮助发挥重要的领导作用，以应对日益增长的需求 global energy system 这就需要提高能源供应的安全性，降低碳排放强度. 随着地缘政治挑战的持续存在和能源需求的增加, the need for reliable, affordable and cleaner energy, such as liquified natural gas (LNG), becomes ever-more important.
According to the U.S. 能源部，现在是美国的 top global exporter 到2022年底，液化天然气出口预计将增长20%以上. 美国能源出口的增长有助于加强我们盟友的能源安全，并取代煤炭等通常用于发电的高碳燃料, while expanding high skilled jobs here at home.
New sources of energy to help secure the future
波兰是中欧的坚定盟友，也是美国在促进地区和整个欧洲的安全与繁荣方面最强大的伙伴之一. 这就是为什么森普拉在本周早些时候宣布其子公司, Sempra Infrastructure, signed a heads of agreement (HOA) with the Polish Oil & Gas Company (PGNiG) to supply LNG from its growing portfolio of U.S. liquefaction development projects. HOA考虑了一项为期20年的协议，根据该协议，PGNiG每年将获得高达300万吨的液化天然气，以帮助加强波兰和中欧的能源安全.
“At Sempra, 我们理解帮助波兰改善其能源和气候安全的重要性，方法是在北美进行投资，扩大关键的能源基础设施，以出口美国能源,” said Justin BirdSempra Infrastructure的首席执行官. “我们很荣幸能与PGNiG合作，支持提供更清洁的燃料，帮助推进波兰的能源系统，为低碳的未来做出贡献.”
HOA为拟议的Cameron LNG第二阶段项目的最终20年LNG销售和购买协议的谈判和最终确定铺平了道路, 该项目预计将包括一列LNG列车，最大生产能力约为6.75 Mtpa of LNG, 以及破解Hackberry现有的三条液化天然气列车的瓶颈, Louisiana, 拟议中的亚瑟港液化天然气项目的年产量为100万吨, a fully-permitted facility in Jefferson County, 德克萨斯州，预计容量约为13.5 Mtpa.
In addition, Sempra Infrastructure和PGNiG希望继续朝着一个有助于减少碳排放的框架努力, 减少并报告整个液化天然气价值链的温室气体排放.
The HOA is a preliminary, non-binding arrangement, 卡梅伦液化天然气二期和亚瑟港液化天然气项目的开发受到许多风险和不确定性的影响, including reaching definitive agreements, securing all necessary permits, signing engineering contracts, 获得融资和激励，并为每个项目做出最终的投资决策.
