The window of opportunity for exporting liquefied natu- ral gas (LNG) from North America is closing, making the slate of proposed projects increasingly risky and less lucrative; however, there still is room for North American gas in the Asia-Pacific market, according to the Canadian Energy Re- search Institute (CERI).
