This study presents a comparative review of the environmental implications of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) usage in the United States (USA) and Africa, examining the policies that govern LNG-related environmental concerns in these regions. Recognizing the global significance of LNG as a pivotal energy source, the analysis explores the distinct policy landscapes shaping its utilization in two diverse contexts. In the USA, where LNG has emerged as a key component of the energy mix, the study scrutinizes federal and state-level environmental policies. This includes regulations governing the extraction, production, and transportation of LNG, with a focus on mitigating emissions, preserving air and water quality, and ensuring ecological sustainability. The review also encompasses the regulatory frameworks promoting the integration of LNG into the broader strategy for reducing carbon footprints in the country. In contrast, the study delves into the nuanced environmental policies across multiple African nations where LNG is increasingly gaining prominence. Africa, with its unique environmental challenges and diverse regulatory approaches, presents a dynamic landscape for LNG utilization. The analysis explores how environmental policies address the specific needs and challenges of African nations, emphasizing sustainable practices, biodiversity conservation, and community welfare. By undertaking this comparative review, the study aims to highlight commonalities and disparities in the environmental policies governing LNG usage in the USA and Africa. Understanding these variations can contribute to the development of informed and context-specific approaches to LNG-related environmental challenges. Additionally, the study seeks to identify areas for potential collaboration and knowledge exchange, fostering a global dialogue on sustainable LNG practices. Ultimately, the findings aim to inform policymakers, industry stakeholders, and environmental advocates, promoting responsible LNG usage that aligns with both regional and global environmental goals.
