The US will soon begin exporting “fracked” liquefied natural gas (LNG) abroad. Fracking, a technique used to extract oil, has put the country in a position to become a major gas exporter. The Energy Department has recently approved the first LNG export proposal and is now in the process of reviewing 20 others.
Many companies have already started preparing to export LNG. A $20 billion project to prepare an export terminal for LNG is currently underway in Louisiana. The terminal was originally designed to import natural gas, but is instead becoming an export terminal due to US gas becoming abundant and relatively cheap. Another terminal in Texas that was originally constructed to import gas has been investing in systems to liquefy gas ready for export. Once completed, the terminal is expected to export nearly 20 million tons of LNG a year.
