Donald Muth

The U.S. finished 2023 as world LNG export leader with a staggering 4.342 TCF of shipped gas.    The robust 2023 4th quarter had seven U.S. terminals averaging almost 13 BCFGPD of exports.  However, recent U.S. LNG exports may be signaling future economic hardship in spite of growing world LNG demand.  The anti-fossil fuel policies of the Biden-Harris Administration and high costs are limiting capital investment in natural gas power plant infrastructure while electric power demand is soaring. 

Globalization is all but over.  Western Europe has opted for U.S. LNG and other stable sources for natural gas.   A vast LNG infrastructure is under construction in Europe to replace Russian pipeline natural gas. World LNG marine vessel construction is more than robust.   More LNG export construction needs to be permitted to meet world demand beyond 2030. The future is in natural gas as a clean green fuel.
