In a road race, American manufacturers in order to benefit from booming exports gas to USAas much as they can.
The massive construction of US terminal stations processing and carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) has turned the country to the world’s top fuel exporter. However, new growth units are called upon to move quickly, as they face a strict deadline – by 2027 – with the global LNG supply estimated to exceed demand, according to Bloombergnef.
By 2030, the US opponent, Qatar, will have completed the many years and ambitious development in LNG production, further reducing the possibilities for new US terminals. The image is further complicated by Russia where by 2031, Gazprom is planning a massive pipeline that will supply China to China, a development that could displace up to 40 million metric tonnes of annual LNG demand.
Four American projects with the capacity of 63 million tonnes of LNG are still awaiting final investment decisions. Even US $ 35 billion factories already under construction face adversity in the midst of a tight labor market that threatens to speed up the timetables. Golden Pass LNG, which is shared jointly in Texas by Exxon Mobil Corp. and Qatarenergy LNG will be launched in 2025, a year later than scheduled, after a lack of workforce and the bankruptcy of one of its contractors.
