EIA expects US LNG capacity to double in 2019
A host of new liquefaction trains becoming operational in the next few months will make the US the world’s third-largest LNG exporter by the end of 2019, after Australia and Qatar. The US Energy Information Administration predicts capacity will reach 8.9bn cubic feet per day late next year
The increase in export capacity is likely to favour long-haul shipments from the US to Asian countries
