US exports of liquefied natural gas to the EU almost tripled during the last seven months, compared to the same period in 2017, reports the European Commission. US exports from late July to early March totaled 7.9 billion cubic meters, accounting for 12% of Europe’s LNG imports. The European Commission said: “The European Union is ready to provide more import of liquefied natural gas from the US under market conditions and at competitive prices. This will allow US exporters to further diversify the European market, thereby contributing to the EU’s objectives of security of supply and diversification.”
