— A new study by the American Petroleum Institute (API) showed that increased exports of clean and abundant US natural gas, in the form of LNG, could support 220,000-452,000 add’l American jobs and add up to $73bn to the US economy by 2040. The study, conducted by ICF International, also concluded that increased LNG exports would have a minimal impact on the natural gas prices. Greater use of natural gas across the world is estimated to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, just as natural gas in US power generation has helped reduce US GHG emissions to near 25-yr lows.
