The American Petroleum Institute, along with the Center for LNG and LNG Allies hosted an event discussing the increasing role U.S. LNG exports play in the global energy mix and the global benefits of this transition, including emissions reductions, lifting people out of poverty, and increasing global security.
Dr. Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Association, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, and Senator Bill Cassidy delivered keynotes at the event.
“U.S. natural gas is meeting growing American energy needs, and at the same time, U.S. LNG exports are improving global conditions and reducing emissions by spreading the benefits of abundant energy to allies around the world. LNG exports are encouraging coal-to-gas switching for power generation from China to Germany, which helps to drive lower emissions while simultaneously bringing affordable and reliable energy to areas which previously had none,” said Mike Sommers, API president and CEO.
“We are excited to partner with API and LNG Allies in today’s event to highlight the crucial role U.S. LNG is playing in reducing emissions and air pollution globally. U.S. LNG exports are helping to provide jobs here at home and cleaner air abroad. CLNG’s members are working hard to bring affordable, clean and abundant US natural gas to the rest of the world and we are excited about the future,” said CLNG Executive Director Charlie Riedl.
