U.S. LNG: Our Greatest Tool to Combat Russian Energy Aggression

April 30, 2025

U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) flows to Europe have been instrumental in securing the continent's energy amid Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. But the job isn't finished. Nearly one fifth of the EU's gas still comes from Russia, which will not be fully displaced until we collaborate with the bloc to supply more stable and secure energy.

With the EU imminently releasing its roadmap to phase out Russian gas, now is the perfect time for the U.S. to double down on LNG exports to advance our geopolitical goals and deepen key global alliances.

LNG exports benefit our economy, our national security, our allies, and the climate, and any action that would increase Russian gas flows to Europe will harm the progress we have made to combat Putin's energy aggression.

WATCH: U.S. LNG Exports are the Key to Global Energy Security

Watch former Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources Geoffrey Pyatt and Director General of Energy of the European Commission Ditte Juul Jørgensen discuss the role of U.S. LNG exports in displacing Russian gas and deepening transatlantic ties.

America’s national security priorities are not an either-or proposition. Satisfying global energy demand with LNG has never been more important, and powering a new era of American economic competitiveness here at home is equally critical.

PAGE Executive Director Chris Treanor on Energy Security

By rapidly developing our energy infrastructure, including pipelines and LNG export terminals, we have an opportunity to:

Strengthen the EU’s energy security
Reduce our allies’ reliance on energy reserves from undemocratic regimes like Russia
Ensure stable energy supplies across the global economy
Expand good-paying labor jobs bolstering our economic security

PAGE Commends DOE for Common Sense Approach to LNG Export Commencement Extensions

LNG export facilities are pillars of job creation and trade development for the U.S while delivering the cleanest and most secure natural gas to our allies. However, the previous regulatory framework presented unnecessarily inflexible deadlines for export facilities, jeopardizing our economic growth and national security. Understanding the consequential nature of denying an extension, PAGE agrees with the DOE that each request should be considered holistically on its merits consistent with pre-2023 policy.

PAGE commends Secretary of Energy Chris Wright for reducing barriers to exporting LNG and will continue engaging with DOE and Congress to introduce policies that unlock the potential of America’s natural gas resources.
