The future of our world’s cleaner and more secure energy future will be driven by abundant, American natural gas, global energy experts, elected officials, and industry professionals recently touted.
As countries look to advance ambitious environmental goals and economic growth natural gas is the key to a strong sustainable future.
American LNG exports are also an essential deterrent to Russia’s weaponization of energy, promoting both energy security and national security across the Atlantic and across the globe.
“Now U.S. LNG has become of strategic importance. It’s become one of the foundations for European energy security going forward, and a part of the replacement of Russian gas. The U.S. is back in a role that it hasn’t had for 75 years, in terms of being a major source of energy security for the world.”

“We know that oil and gas is going to remain a part of our energy mix for years to come,” she told the crowded plenary hall. “This transition is not about closing doors. It’s about opening new windows of opportunity.”
“The resource potential we have in Appalachia is massive. Clearly there is a need for cheap, reliable clean energy like Appalachia natural gas. We need more pipeline infrastructure and the LNG facilities to connect the amazing resource we have in this country to the world stage.”
“The Marcellus and Utica… if it was its own nation, that region would be the third largest gas producer in the world behind the U.S. and Russia.”
“The good news is we have plenty of supplies between the Permian and the Haynesville and the Marcellus and Utica. We have plenty of gas supplies to meet the demand, but we are not going to get it done if we can’t unlock some of those bigger resources.”
“Our goal is to shine a very credible spotlight on the natural gas value chain so we can actually take gas into our system, track that gas through our system, and deliver it to LNG terminals and certify, with credibility, the emissions profile of that energy and then show how we’re driving that down over time.”

“The economics of the US natural gas market are going to be influenced more and more by international markets as more gas is delivered internationally.”

“The thing about the U.S. natural gas industry is we don’t lack resource. There’s over 1,000 Tcf of resource in the ground that we know about and that we can unlock with technologies that exist today.”
“We are very focused on meeting the world’s needs for a critical important source of energy and doing it the right way.”
“Europe will need to be able to get a lot more LNG if it wants to have the security of supply that it wants,” Sawan said. “We need more (gas) storage, we need more renewables.”
“Europe clearly needs alternate sources of gas. Off-take agreements have been slow to come, particularly out of European buyers. So, I think that becomes a big of a limiting factor on which projects will get done and in what sequence.”
