Global small-scale LNG (SSLNG) liquefaction capacity is likely to grow by around 36% over 2025 to 2030 largely fueled by increasing demand for flexible, decentralized energy in remote and off-grid areas. SSLNG provides a cleaner alternative to conventional fuels, supports the shift toward lower-carbon energy, and typically requires lower capital investment than large-scale LNG developments. Technology improvements and supportive government policies are also strengthening SSLNG’s appeal and accessibility, particularly for transportation and industrial applications.
