EIA: LNG exports from North America are set to expand with new projects

The EIA estimates that by the end of 2027, LNG export capacity will grow by 1.1 billion ft3/d in Mexico, 2.1 billion ft3/d in Canada, and 9.7 billion ft3/d in the US from a total of ten new projects across the three countries.
Three projects with a combined LNG export capacity of 1.1 billion ft3/d are currently under construction in Mexico: Fast LNG Altamira offshore and onshore, Fast LNG Lakach on the east coast, and Energia Costa Azul on the west coast.
Developers have proposed other LNG export projects for Mexico’s west coast, including Saguaro Energia LNG, Salina Cruz FLNG, and Vista Pacifico LNG, which have a combined capacity over 2.7 billion ft3/d. These projects will use relatively low-cost natural gas imported from the US for LNG exports to Asian markets. However, none of these proposed projects has reached a final investment decision (FID) yet.
Two LNG export projects with a combined capacity of 2.1 billion ft3/d are under construction in British Columbia on Canada’s west coast.
Five LNG export projects are currently under construction with a combined 9.7 billion ft3/d of LNG export capacity: Golden Pass, Plaquemines, Corpus Christi Stage III, Rio Grande, and Port Arthur.

The EIA reports that US distillate consumption so far this year is lower than usual because of warm winter weather, reduced manufacturing activity, and continued substitution of biofuels in place of petroleum distillate on the US West Coast (PADD 5).
