The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (www.eia.gov) new Today in Energy brief looks at the expected increase in U.S. liquefied natural gas exports, which are on track to make the United States a net exporter of natural gas in 2018
“The United States is expected to become a net exporter of natural gas on an average annual basis by 2018, according to the recently released Annual Energy Outlook 2017 (AEO2017) Reference case. The transition to net exporter is driven by declining pipeline imports, growing pipeline exports, and increasing exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG). In most AEO2017 cases, the United States is also projected to become a net exporter of total energy in the 2020s in large part because of increasing natural gas exports.”---EIA
