Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSE:LNG) is a Houston-based energy company specializing in the production and export of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The company’s core business activities encompass the development, construction and operation of LNG terminals and associated pipelines. Through these facilities, Cheniere processes natural gas into a liquid form that can be efficiently transported to global markets, supporting the demand for cleaner-burning fuel alternatives.
Cheniere’s principal LNG export terminals include the Sabine Pass LNG terminal in Louisiana and the Corpus Christi LNG terminal in Texas. These facilities feature large-scale liquefaction trains, storage tanks and marine berths designed to accommodate LNG carriers. In addition to its export operations, the company has invested in pipeline infrastructure to ensure a steady supply of feed gas from major U.S. production basins to its liquefaction plants.
Founded in 1983, Cheniere emerged as one of the first U.S. companies to pivot from a natural gas importer to an exporter following regulatory changes in the early 2010s. The Sabine Pass terminal commenced commercial exports in 2016, marking the first such operation in the lower 48 states. Building on this milestone, Cheniere expanded its footprint with the start-up of the Corpus Christi terminal in 2019, helping the company establish itself as a leading supplier of LNG to global markets.
Cheniere’s LNG is sold under long‐term contracts to customers in Europe, Asia and Latin America, where it contributes to energy security and diversification. The company is led by CEO Jack Fusco, who has overseen its transition into one of the world’s largest LNG exporters. With a focus on operational reliability and project development, Cheniere continues to explore expansion opportunities in response to shifting energy dynamics and the growing global demand for natural gas.
