U.S. data centers could consume about 18 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day by 2035, nearly twice BloombergNEF's forecast from nine months earlier, even after accounting for projects that may not be completed. Data centers would become the second-largest source of natural gas demand growth over the next decade, behind LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports. On-site generation planned by Meta, Microsoft, Google and Amazon could use 2.9 billion to 3.4 billion cubic feet daily by 2035, while grid-connected facilities could add 15 billion cubic feet per day to power-sector demand. Analysts at Noreva warn that data center expansion alongside rising LNG exports could lift natural gas prices, potentially increasing costs for utility ratepayers. The additional consumption could also produce 1 million metric tons of greenhouse gas pollution daily, equivalent to about 12% of current total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, based on the report's figures.
