The U.S. LNG export capacity growth stagnated over the past couple years due to delays caused by market volatility, labor shortages, and regulatory uncertainty. Now, the supportive stance of the Trump Administration and growing global gas demand are expected to bolster the U.S. LNG sector through 2030.
U.S. LNG export capacity reached a little over 95 million tons per annum (mtpa) in mid-2025. Going forward, it is expected to increase by 10% annually reaching over 160 mtpa in 2030. Most of the near-term growth will come from four key projects:
- Venture Global’s Plaquemines LNG trains 9 to 36
- ExxonMobil-Qatar JV, Gloden Pass LNG’s trains 1 to 3
- Cheniere Energy’s Corpus Christi Stage 3 trains 2 to 7
- Sempra Infrastructure’s Port Arthur LNG train 1
