Description Jump to:
Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction capacity is expected to more than double between 2026 and 2030 fueled by rising natural gas demand as it serves as a transition fuel between higher-emitting fossil fuels and renewables. Additional momentum will come from Europe’s ongoing shift away from Russian gas, strong natural gas demand growth across Asia, robust pipeline of projects in the US, and continued technological improvements that lower costs and improve project and operational efficiencies.
