Global Small Scale LNG Market Expected to Inflate at CAGR 2.5% By 2023

Market Highlights:-

Small-scale LNG are altogether the LNG transportation from liquefaction terminal to regasification terminals through tankers, ship, and trucks. The need for small-scale LNG arises from increasing demand for LNG, increasing number for lesser capacity liquefaction terminals, and simpler storage facilities. These terminals have maximum capacity of 0.5 MMTPA. For instance, in Singapore the small-scale LNG terminal has capacity of only 11 MTPA. By the end of 2017, China had 4 small-scale LNG terminals, which can meet the demand of natural gas for small-scale projects. The advantage of small-scale LNG are adjustable annual delivery contracts, and minimum counterparty risks.

Natural gas is sustainable energy source. However, the source faces storage issues as the volume of natural gas is high. To solve this problem, natural gas is converted to liquid form at liquefaction terminals, for ease of transportation. At the destination of end use, the liquefied gas is again converted to gas at regasification terminals. Globally, the number of liquefaction & regasification terminals are increasing, given the increasing demand for energy fuel.

The growth of the small scale LNG market is majorly driven by increased demand for energy in the Asia-Pacific region. The government initiatives that focus on providing cleaner fuel, is driving the market, especially in countries such as India and China. The market is further driven by the growing adoption of LNG for heavy duty transportation purposes in the Europe and North American regions. However, the growth of this market can be restrained by the extensive investment required to construct LNG storage plants and fluctuation in global gas market prices.

Market Segmentations:-

Global small-scale LNG market has been segmented on the basis of mode of supply, type, application, and region. Based on type, the market is further segmented into liquefaction and regasification terminals. Liquefaction terminal segments holds larger market share due to increasing natural gas storage infrastructure.
