# Q&A | The Role of Liquefied Natural Gas in the US Gas Market - Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA | CGEP

> A Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy Q&A explains the role of LNG in the US gas market. It notes global LNG prices hit record highs and that the US, though a major producer and exporter, still imports LNG in the Northeast due to infrastructure gaps. The piece is an external analysis rather than a new market event.

## Why it matters

Record global LNG prices and tight US infrastructure keep domestic gas prices exposed to global swings, supporting higher natural gas costs. The analysis is background and does not itself move prices.
