U.S. Supplied 93% of Global LNG Export Growth in 2025, Becoming World's Largest Exporter
In 2025, the United States supplied approximately 93% of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) export growth, adding 1.10 trillion cubic feet out of a total global increase of 1.2 trillion cubic feet. U.S. LNG exports reached 5.2 trillion cubic feet, making America the world's largest LNG exporter, ahead of Qatar (3.9 trillion cubic feet) and Australia (3.7 trillion cubic feet). The surge was driven by the shale revolution, Gulf Coast infrastructure, and new facilities like Plaquemines LNG in Louisiana, which alone accounted for over 60% of the global supply increase. Europe received 68% of U.S. LNG exports, averaging a record 10.3 billion cubic feet per day, as Asian demand softened and trade tensions with China reduced shipments there. U.S. natural gas production also hit a record 103.9 trillion cubic feet. The article highlights how U.S. LNG has reshaped global gas trade, offering flexible contracts and redirectable cargoes that enhance energy security for buyers.
