T&T LNG Exports Rebound Modestly Amid Intensifying Global Competition

Trinidad and Tobago's liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to regional markets rose modestly in 2025, reaching 10.7 billion cubic meters (bcm). This increase followed two consecutive years of lower export volumes and reflected a moderate recovery in domestic LNG production.

The Energy Institute's 2026 Statistical Review of World Energy revealed that South and Central America remained Trinidad and Tobago's largest regional destination, receiving 4.57 bcm of LNG in 2025. Europe imported 3.23 bcm, followed by the Asia-Pacific region with 1.91 bcm.

However, global competition among exporters intensified during the year, with the United States exporting 147 bcm of LNG in 2025, up 27% from the previous year. This marked a significant increase in US LNG exports and reinforced its position as the world's largest LNG exporter.
