Joe Biden’s victory could end up reshaping the US energy sector, and possibly the fate of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Ireland and the rest of the world from the US in years to come, although the president-elect may have limited room to manoeuvre given that control of the US senate remains unclear.

The president-elect has pledged to spend trillions of dollars to speed up the transition from fossil fuels, slash emissions, and curb climate change.
