A significant increase in exports has been reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The average daily export amount for the first half of 2026 was up 23% from the same period in 2025. This growth is notable, considering exports were negligible just a decade ago.

The expansion of the U.S. liquefied natural gas industry has led to the establishment of new facilities and the expansion of existing ones. This has enabled areas with ample natural gas supplies to reach global markets.
