According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, since the U.S. began exporting liquified natural gas (LNG) in February 2016, the country has grown to have more LNG export capacity and has exported more than any other country. On average, U.S. LNG exports were 11.1 billion cubic feet per day in the first half of 2022.

There are many LNG projects under construction today, with three key facilities planned for opening by 2025—Golden Pass LNG, Plaquemines LNG and Corpus Christi Stage 3. Once these facilities are online, peak export capacity will grow by 5.7 bcf/d.
