"In January this year, seemingly out of nowhere, US President Joe Biden made a
decision that sent shock waves through the trillion-dollar global gas industry.
With the stroke of a pen, Mr Biden put a pause on approvals for any new project
looking to ship super-chilled liquefied natural gas — or LNG — from US shores.
It was a decision that left many in the industry floored.
After all, within just a few short years America had rocketed from a position
of having no LNG industry to being one of the world's biggest exporters of the
fuel alongside Australia and Qatar.
Joe Biden's decision to pause new LNG projects was partly based on a landmark
emissions study.
And it was a decision that has set off a political firestorm in the US, where
energy and America's insatiable needs for it are looming, as ever, as a
critical issue in an election year.
Underlying that decision, however, was a landmark report that has cast fresh
doubt over the supposed environmental benefits of gas compared with coal."
