Major New US Industry at Crossroads:
A US LNG Impact Study — Phase 1

In addition to a look ahead to November's USAEE/IAEE North American Conference, in this edition of the newsletter we also have the opportunity to share this report originally published in the S&P Global Market Intelligence blog, "Research & Insights"

The US liquefied natural gas (LNG) Industry has emerged within the past decade to become an important and growing sector of the US economy, with LNG exports not only contributing more than $400 billion to US GDP but also supporting hundreds of thousands of high-quality American jobs since 2016. However, the industry is facing significant hurdles, from the January 2024 US Department of Energy ‘pause’ to mounting permitting challenges and the shifting regulatory and political landscape. The impact on the industry already is being felt and extends beyond the ‘pause’ itself. With the US LNG sector’s export capacity projected to double over the next 5 years, driving an average of half a million jobs per year and representing an incremental $1.3 trillion dollar boost to the economy through 2040, much is at stake in the current policy debate.
