Methane is malicious: Stop insuring Freeport LNG

Over land gas pipeline system LNG tank storage at natural gas station

With Freeport LNG’s insurance running out on October 1st, we have a small window of time to stop insurance for an explosive methane gas terminal in Freeport, Texas.

This facility was built without Free, Prior, and Informed Consent of nearby Indigenous and impacted communities. It also had a massive explosion just last year — injuring several people and releasing toxic emissions into the air.

Now the same insurers who backed the Trans Mountain pipeline are enabling the ongoing operation of the dangerous Freeport LNG facility. But if we can ramp up the pressure right now while Freeport is seeking to renew its insurance for next year, we could push companies to cut ties with Freeport LNG before it’s too late. We must stop LNG expansion in its tracks. Without financing or insurance, these projects can’t go ahead.

Will you send an email to major insurance companies — like Allianz, Liberty Mutual, AIG and Chubb — and pressure them to stop insuring dangerous gas facilities like Freeport LNG?

Dear {contact_data~title} {contact_data~lastName},

We call on you to take concrete steps to align with a world in which climate change is limited to 1.5°C, human rights are fully respected, and fossil fuels are not driving violent conflict around the globe by taking the following steps:

First, rule out insurance for Freeport LNG and all methane gas facilities.

1. Immediately stop providing new financing, investment, insurance coverage and other financial services to fossil fuel companies, and divest from existing assets.
2. Immediately stop insuring new and expanded coal, oil, and gas projects;
3. Set 1.5°C-aligned zero dates for phasing out all fossil fuel insurance;
4. Immediately end financing for projects and companies that are implicated in abuses of human rights, especially Indigenous rights.

Research shows that methane gas terminals are a massive public health hazard. People who live near these facilities deal with symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and respiratory irritation – with long-term exposure connected to severe health impacts like asthma, heart disease, and cancers. Your company's continued insurance of Freeport LNG only puts the Freeport, Texas community at risk.

Stop insuring dangerous gas facilities like Freeport LNG and instead stop LNG expansion.

Thank you,
