Energy Department Advances U.S. Energy Priorities at G20 Energy Abundance Ministerial

The U.S. Department of Energy, with the White House National Energy Dominance Council, the U.S. Department of the Interior, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency hosted G20 Energy Ministers at the G20 Energy Abundance Ministerial.

HOUSTON—The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in coordination with the White House National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC), the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hosted G20 Energy Ministers at the G20 Energy Abundance Ministerial in Houston, Texas, from September 14–16, 2026.

Under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. recentered G20 conversations on affordability, reliability, and security—affirming the essential role of hydrocarbons, nuclear energy, and advanced technologies in delivering energy abundance and driving economic prosperity.

G20 Energy Ministers reached consensus on four outcomes: advancing energy access and closing the clean cooking gap, supply chain security, infrastructure development, and water resilience.  The outcomes reflect the significant progress following nearly a year of dialogue with the G20 to support the commonsense solutions that President Trump has championed to increase access to affordable, reliable, and secure energy; speed the development of critical infrastructure; and reduce vulnerabilities in energy supply chains.

Under U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright’s leadership, G20 Energy Ministers endorsed a clean cooking access declaration to support affordable, reliable, and scalable solutions for closing the clean cooking gap—including the use of liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG, which has accounted for roughly 75% of global gains in clean cooking access since 2010.  This declaration can help mobilize greater attention and resources for the two billion people still living without access to clean cooking, so they can breathe cleaner air at home and spend less time collecting traditional biomass for fuel.
