LNG exports set to add $1.4 trillion to US GDP through 2040, S&P Global Energy study says

An S&P Global Energy study projects LNG could become the U.S.’s second-largest net export industry in the next five years, supporting nearly $1.4T of additional GDP through 2040. The forecast implies growing U.S. LNG export capacity and trade-related benefits for the energy complex, though it is positioned as an industry outlook rather than a near-term earnings catalyst.
