The new US terminal, along with high price gearing up in Europe, led the US as the top exporter of liquefied natural gas globally for the very first time, as per the data from Bloomberg for December 2021. Also, President Joe Biden is likely to spend billions of dollars to help the US economy decarbonize and become the last growth market for global trade in fossil fuels. Along with the growing power plants globally, particularly in Asia, are increasing the requirement for gas as it is used to scramble the goal, thereby releasing more CO2 and polluting the environment.
Around a decade ago, the US was the leading importer of gas, particularly from Canada. However, the boom in the mid-2010’s revealed the shocking volumes of domestic supply, and thereby the US became the leading exporter in 2017. After that there were around six times a boost in the capacity of US LNG export terminals, thereby grabbing the capabilities of Qatar’s and Australia’s Sports.
However, the LNG developers from the US have eyes on the Asian market, which is growing pretty fast. But the cancellation of a proposed terminal on the West Coast in December became a setback to those initiatives. However, the energy crisis that suddenly unfolded in Europe for months offered a decisive spike as Russian markets exported to Europe. Those exports were less than expected, along with the diverted cheaper shipments from the US to bridge the gap. In addition, the US is likely to retain its leading position as more export facilities have been initiated, and many others are also planned.
Meanwhile, the US gas prices overseas are rising simultaneously. The output reveals that many power producers in the United States region rely on coal. There was around a 22% spike in coal consumption in 2021 when compared to 2022 as per the Federal data since 2014.
The good use of US fossil fuels to lower the energy costs and emissions in several countries is contributing to growing carbon emissions domestically. However, it has made it difficult for the US to reach Bien’s administration goal to lower emissions by 2030.
However, the global climate economy refers to every aspect of the global system – construction, energy, transportation, agriculture that needs to be redesigned and rethought to lower and eliminate greenhouse gasses from the equation. However, it has emerged as the greatest challenge of our times and also a huge opportunity to tap on the undiscovered avenues in the global market.
