LNGReports, June 2012, Pages: 84

Global LNG Technology Insights and Evaluation from LNGReports is a complete report on liquefaction technologies. The report provides all the technical and commercial aspects of developing a liquefaction terminal. Recent trends in liquefaction technology along with industry outlook are covered. Various technology providers available along with their technologies, operational and planned projects are provided. Further, all key components in development of liquefaction process are detailed. Leading constructor profiles are discussed in detail. Further, current status, feasibility and capital investment details are included for all planned LNG terminals. Latest technology trends and recent developments are also provided in the report.

Research Highlights-

- Global LNG Supply to increase at a compounded annual growth rate of 5.9% over the decade

- LNG industry scope widening rapidly with 38 new liquefaction terminals scheduled for operation by 2020

- Against the historic trend, demand for small sized trains will be constructed between 2015 and 2020

- Over 68% of liquefaction terminals are developed through Air Products’ technologies including SMR, C3MR, SplitMR and AP-X technologies
