Future LNG prices too low to support US LNG exports: report

摘要

Some industry observers have questioned the prospects for US LNG exports because they believe domestic gas prices might rise, making delivered prices too high. Others have argued that LNG exports should be restricted precisely to avoid increases in domestic prices so that the broader US economy can benefit from cheap energy. However, a new report by Rice University's Baker Institute says such exports would not be viable through at least 2040 because long-term spot LNG prices would be too low.
