Over the past two decades, natural gas has completely transformed America’s energy landscape.  

Fill me in: As our nation unlocked shale reserves and dramatically increased natural gas production, we went from a posture of energy scarcity to energy abundance and opportunity. This development has allowed the United States to provide affordable, reliable, and cleaner energy at home and to our allies abroad.  

Global impacts: The rise of natural gas brings other major benefits, too. In its liquid form (LNG), natural gas can be transported around the world to help America’s allies and trading partners meet their own energy needs, typically with similar environmental benefits as in the U.S.

Did you know? The U.S. started exporting LNG in early 2016 and is now the world’s largest exporter. 

Why it matters: The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently supported a first-of-its-kind S&P Global LNG Impact Study that provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits of LNG.

S&P Global LNG Impact Study Supported by the U.S. Chamber

The S&P Global study provides an objective analysis of the economic, market, and global impact of U.S. LNG exports. It details the breadth and magnitude of the U.S. LNG sector and its positive impact on energy markets in the U.S. and around the world.
