A significant expansion is underway in the US liquefied natural gas industry. Exports have risen substantially, with average daily volumes reaching 17.4 billion cubic feet in the first half of 2026. This represents a 23% increase from the same period in 2025.

New facilities and expansions of existing terminals have contributed to this growth. Just a decade ago, exports were negligible, making the current increase all the more notable.

Further information on this development is available, including details on the impact of global events on the industry.
