# Natural Gas Price Relief Prospects Shrinking as LNG Startups Delayed

> Startup of the Golden Pass LNG export project has been pushed to at least the second half of 2025 because of construction delays.

## Why it matters

Delayed LNG capacity means less feed gas demand from export terminals, which keeps US natural gas prices under pressure. Lower gas prices reduce costs for nitrogen fertilizer and ethanol-related inputs.
