Natural gas plays a prominent role in reducing America’s carbon
footprint and Liquefied Natural Gas, or LNG, is an important source of
this cleanest burning of fossil fuels.  More and more communities are
turning to natural gas for electrical generation, heating and cooling
homes and businesses and for cooking food. Currently, 63 million
Americans count on natural gas for these essential energy needs.
Though much of demand is being met by domestic drilling and shale
development, the U.S. consumes more natural gas than it produces. LNG
is a key component in helping to fill America’s approximate 13 percent
gap between domestic natural gas production and consumption.
