T&T LNG Exports Bounce Back Modestly in 2025
Trinidad and Tobago's liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports have seen a modest recovery in 2025, reaching 10.7 billion cubic meters (bcm). This increase follows two consecutive years of lower export volumes, according to the Energy Institute's 2026 Statistical Review of World Energy.
The largest share of LNG exports went to South and Central America, receiving 4.57 bcm in 2025, followed by Europe with 3.23 bcm, and Asia-Pacific with 1.91 bcm. North America accounted for 0.72 bcm, while the Middle East and Africa received a combined 0.29 bcm.
The rise from 10.3 bcm in 2024 to 10.7 bcm in 2025 marks a step in the right direction, but export volumes remain well below levels seen a decade ago. The industry has had to adjust to tighter domestic gas supplies, shifting trade patterns, and an increasing number of competing LNG suppliers.
The Energy Institute reported that global natural gas demand increased by 1.6% in 2025, while gas consumption across the Asia-Pacific region remained broadly unchanged as China expanded domestic production and pipeline imports, reducing its need for LNG.
