The U.S. is rapidly increasing natural gas exports, primarily as liquefied natural gas (LNG), to meet growing global energy demand.

The United States has become a major exporter of natural gas, driven by advancements in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, which have boosted domestic production. Much of this natural gas is exported as liquefied natural gas (LNG), which allows it to be transported efficiently to international markets. Key destinations for U.S. LNG include Europe, Asia, and Latin America, where demand for cleaner energy alternatives is growing. These exports strengthen the U.S. position in the global energy market, help balance trade, and support allies in reducing their dependence on other energy sources, all while fostering economic growth within the energy sector.
