Discover the concerns related to liquefied natural gas (LNG), including how LNG is produced, its environmental impact, and the economic viability of LNG exports.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a form of natural gas that has been cooled to -260° F, which transforms it into a liquid to more easily store and transport it long distances, including overseas. As the world’s leading producer and exporter, as of 2025, the U.S. heavily invests in LNG to meet global energy demands. Read more to discover the environmental, safety, and economic challenges inherent to liquefied natural gas.
