Will U.S. exports of natural gas to Japan grow?
Japan’s trade and industry ministry asked the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to approve U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Japan. This is the second request this year. The DOE approved an earlier request by Cheniere Energy to export 2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) of U.S.-produced natural gas from its Sabine Pass LNG terminal in Louisiana.
