US AI Data Centers to Become Fifth-Largest Gas Consumer
1 min read
US AI data centers are projected to consume up to 15 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day by 2035, a 117% increase from a previous forecast of 6.9 billion cubic feet. This surge, driven by reliance on gas turbine generators, would make them the world's fifth-largest natural gas consumer. The demand is compounding a jet engine shortage and could strain supply, potentially raising consumer prices.
