The Ascent of Small Scale LNG?

Large LNG projects make large headlines. But we are excited by the ascent of smaller-scale LNG. At <1MTpa each, these facilities can be harder to track, which is the objective…

…best-estimates into the costs of typical small-scale LNG projects (SMR and Nitrogen Expansion, below). We also present and contrast a novel small-scale LNG technology, Galileo’s Cryobox, including economic sensitivities (below)….
…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…
…note outlines 200MTpa of potential upside to consensus LNG demand, via de-carbonised power and shipping fuels. LNG demand could thus compound at 8% pa to 800MTpa by 2030, justifying greater…
…industrial gas turbines can often be in the range of 25-30%, which is the main factor driving the high CO2 intensity charted above. How do smaller-scale LNG projects differ? It…
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…
Next-generation technology in small-scale LNG has potential to reshape the global shipping-fuels industry. Especially after IMO 2020 sulphur regulations, LNG should compete with diesel. Opportunities in trucking and shale are…
Global LNG output ran at 380MTpa in 2021, and just below 400MTpa in 2022. This model estimates global LNG supplies by project across 130 LNG facilities. Our best estimate is…
…diesel pricing, it should be economical to fuel newbuild ships with small-scale LNG; and in the US it should be economical to convert pre-existing ships to run on small-scale LNG….
…which yields a total transport cost of $130k/day or $1/mcf of delivered LNG. Transportation distance is the most important cost driver for large-scale shipping. An LNG tanker pays a fixed…
