US LNG export terminals status update

The latest update (November 4) on US LNG export terminals shows a sector that continues to expand in scale, complexity and geographic reach.

The United States remains the world’s largest LNG exporter, supported by a combination of fully operational Gulf Coast terminals, major projects under construction and a deep pipeline of approved and proposed developments awaiting market conditions or commercial alignment.

Existing facilities such as Sabine Pass, Corpus Christi, Freeport, Cameron and Cove Point continue to anchor US export capacity, while new trains and greenfield projects — including Golden Pass, Plaquemines LNG and CP2 — are set to add significant volumes later this decade.

Further capacity is already approved by regulators but not yet under construction, reflecting evolving market signals, financing considerations and long-term contracting needs.

Additional projects are progressing through FERC pre-filing and MARAD review, indicating that the US development pipeline remains active even amid global LNG market uncertainty.

Together, these facilities reinforce the United States’ role as a flexible, responsive supplier to global LNG markets.
