HOUSTON, U.S. -- U.S. energy giant Sempra Infrastructure will increase production of liquefied natural gas in the south of the country, which it operates jointly with Japan's Mitsui & Co. and other companies, by about 60% from the current level to about 19 million tons per year in 2027.
The company hopes to export the increased output to Europe and Asia. Europe, particularly Germany and Italy, is trying to wean itself of its energy dependence on Russia following the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine.
