Cheniere Energy, Inc. is a Houston-based energy company primarily engaged in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry. Founded in 1983 as a natural gas pipeline business, the company shifted its strategic focus in the early 2000s toward LNG development and export. Today, Cheniere operates two major LNG liquefaction and export terminals—Sabine Pass in Louisiana and Corpus Christi in Texas—positioning itself as one of the leading suppliers of U.S. LNG to global markets.
The company’s core activities include the design, construction, and operation of LNG liquefaction trains, storage tanks and related pipeline infrastructure. By converting pipeline-quality natural gas into a super-cooled liquid, Cheniere enables more efficient transportation of natural gas to customers overseas. Its terminals feature multiple liquefaction trains with a combined production capacity exceeding 40 million tonnes per annum, serving utilities, industrial users and gas marketers across Europe, Asia, Latin America and other regions.
Cheniere supplements its liquefaction business with regasification services through its wholly-owned Sabine Pass LNG Terminal, which can both import and export LNG. The company has also entered into long-term sale and purchase agreements with major international energy firms, providing revenue stability and fostering strategic partnerships. Ongoing expansion projects, including additional liquefaction trains and pipeline connections, are designed to meet growing global demand for cleaner-burning fuels.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Jack Fusco, Cheniere has navigated regulatory, technical and market challenges to become the first U.S. entity to export LNG from a greenfield facility. Its management team combines experience in engineering, project development and commodities trading, guiding the company’s efforts to enhance operational efficiency and maintain high safety and environmental standards. As global energy markets evolve, Cheniere continues to explore new growth opportunities in LNG infrastructure and related midstream services.
