(Dec 30): Global exports of liquefied natural gas in 2025 likely saw the biggest jump in three years, as new supply came online in North America. Exports are estimated to have risen 4% from last year to 429 million tonnes, according to Kpler, which tracks shipping data. The US is poised to cement its role as a major exporter, becoming the first ever to ship out more than 100 million tonnes of LNG this year. The nation is expected to continue adding supply, doubling output by the end of the decade and boosting exports in turn. December’s export figures are likely to hit a record of about 41 million tonnes, according to Kpler.
