Three of the many proposed Lower 48 liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects appear likely to receive U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) blessing, and three Canadian projects that have government approvals will be held back by supply contracting and pipeline development, Moody’s Investors Service said in a note last week.

While liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been a bit of a road hog lately, the advancements for compressed natural gas (CNG) keep coming too, albeit a little more quietly.

Global demand for natural gas is projected to grow at about 2% per year, about twice the rate for oil demand. And liquefied natural gas (LNG) capacity, which about doubled from 2000 to 2012 could double again by 2025, according to Ernst & Young (E&Y). But it’s still early days in the U.S. LNG export game, and opinions vary widely on what will happen.
