LNG liquefaction technologies: an overview?
…for LNG in transport. How does FLNG differ? Space aboard an FLNG will always be at a premium. This favors more compact equipment. Lower exclusion distances might also confine the…
How do LNG costs vary with plant size?
…gas production, gas processing, pipeline transportation, LNG liquefaction, LNG shipping and LNG regasification. Another good way to understand the relative differences between the costs of LNG plants is looking in…
The Ascent of LNG?
…that is required. Please download our risked, LNG supply model to see our scenarios, and the LNG projects included. LNG technology could thus unlock incremental LNG facilities. We are most…
LNG: top conclusions in the energy transition?
…opportunities in LNG in transport, smaller-scale LNG, LNG-fueled trucks, LNG-fueled ships, eliminating methane slip, LNG fuelling stations, small fixed LNG plants, floating LNG plants. There are some interesting concepts, especially…
Shell drives LNG in transport?
Shell is the leading Major in driving new LNG demand, based on patent filings (chart above). As an example, we highlight a leading new technology to promote LNG demand in…
Global LNG supply model: by project and by country?
Global LNG output ran at 400MTpa in 2023. This model estimates global LNG production by facility across 140 LNG facilities. Our latest forecasts are that global LNG demand will rise…
LNG ramp-rates: MTpa per month and volatility?
…fast large LNG projects ramp up? Month-by-month ramp-ups of different LNG facilities are plotted above, where we can get the data, as an excerpt from our LNG supply-demand model. https://thundersaidenergy.com/downloads/long-term-lng-supply-model/…
US natural gas: blue hydrogen tightens global LNG markets?
…supplies? Our global LNG supply model sees global LNG supplies ramping up by 280MTpa to almost 700MTpa by 2030, and even this is insufficient to meet global LNG demand, we…
LNG liquefaction: what challenges and opportunities?
