U.S. LNG exports are set to grow from 14.6 bcf/d in 2025 to a projected 26 bcf/d by 2030, surpassing Qatar's planned capacity of 142 mtpa. Australia's LNG exports are declining, falling to 65.8 mtpa in 2025 due to maturing gas fields.

Key U.S. LNG projects under construction include Venture Global CP2 and Golden Pass LNG, with banks providing substantial financing. Qatar's North Field expansion aims to double LNG capacity by 2030, costing about $83 billion, primarily funded by QatarEnergy's revenues and international investments. Both countries' strategies illustrate differing approaches to LNG market dominance.
