On April 22, 2026, Golden Pass LNG—the 10th liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the United States—shipped its first cargo from Train 1, according to the project developer. The shipment left port 23 days after achieving first LNG production in March 2026. The terminal began shipping as geopolitical developments in the Strait of Hormuz have affected over 10 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), or approximately 20%, of global supply.
