The ‘ UK-US Energy Security and Affordability Partnership ’ will work to reduce global dependency on Russian energy exports , stabilise energy markets , and step-up collaboration on energy efficiency , nuclear , and renewables .

As part of this , the US will strive to export at least 9-10bn cubic metres of LNG over the next year via UK terminals , more than doubling the level exported in 2021 . This will benefit both UK and European partners . To fulfil this shared objective , both governments will work to proactively identify and resolve any issues faced by exporters and importers .

Furthermore , the partnership will also drive international investment in clean energy technologies , from offshore wind to carbon capture .

This will complement the work the UK and US are doing together with G7 partners to support the use of clean and sustainable energy in developing countries through the Just Energy Transition Partnerships .
