US EditionThe EU’s mysterious Russian gas plan — and what it means for US LNG exports
- Woodside Energy approved its Louisiana LNG export facility in April 2024, initiating over 90 million tonnes of new U.S. LNG capacity expansions.

- Woodside’s Louisiana project costs rose by 31%, and U.S. LNG exports reached 88.3 million metric tons in 2024, up 4.5% from 2023, with Europe as the main destination at 55%.
- The capacity growth could strengthen U.S. Energy security and economy, but a partial return of Russian gas may threaten about $120 billion in LNG investments.
