America exported 9.4 million metric tons, up from a previous record 9.3 million metric tons in August.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The United States was the world&#8217;s largest liquefied natural gas exporter in 2024, with Louisiana accounting for about 61% of total LNG shipments. Texas, the second biggest exporter, was the source of about 31% of the U.S. LNG shipped overseas in 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Weekly data compiled by Bloomberg shows 81 LNG tankers departed Louisiana export terminals between Sept. 3 and October 1, representing 67% of total U.S. shipments during the four-week period. The data shows 35 LNG tankers departed Texas export facilities during the same four weeks, while three shipments left terminals in Virginia and Georgia, according to Bloomberg.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Cheniere Energy\u2019s Sabine Pass facility in Cameron Parish, the world\u2019s largest export terminal with capacity of 29.5 million tons per year, shipped 32 cargos in September.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8230;Since taking office in January, President Donald Trump has advanced U.S. &#8220;energy dominance&#8221; through executive orders and policies that streamline the permitting process on LNG projects and reduce regulatory burdens on existing export facilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Commonwealth&#8217;s LNG facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, was authorized in February to export up to 1.21 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day to non-FTA countries and in August Venture Global&#8217;s Calcasieu Pass LNG project was approved for an increase in liquefaction capacity from 12.0 to 12.4 million tons per year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>In May, the DOE issued a final authorization to Sempra Energy\u2019s Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project that allows exports to countries that do not have free trade agreements with the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Energy independence or &#8216;energy dominance&#8217; is not simply an economic issue. Europe receives 66% of all LNG shipments from American ports. This is LNG that they are not forced to buy from Russia or other sources not necessarily in line with their political agenda. When America is &#8216;energy dominant,&#8217; it is free to make diplomatic decisions based on its own interests rather than worrying about its supply of energy being cut off as it was in the 1970&#8217;s. It is also free to supply energy to help support other free nations around the world. &#8216;Energy dominance&#8217; is a really good thing for America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 4th, Just the News reported that America&#8217;s liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports hit a record high in September.
