LNG liquefaction: the economics?
…price, Capex/tpa, Opex/mcf, Utilization, Thermal Efficiency, LNG shipping distance, LNG tanker rates, and liquids cuts. LNG project capex is modeled in detail, built up across 5 x 10 categories, averaging…
LNG transport: shipping economics?
The purpose of this data-file is to model the economics of shipping large cryogenic cargoes, such as LNG carriers or even dual-purpose vessels that can carry both LNG and CO2….
LNG shipping: company screen?
This data-file is a screen of LNG shipping companies, quantifying who has the largest fleet of LNG carriers and the cleanest fleet of LNG carriers (i.e., low CO2 intensity). Many…
Decarbonized gas: ship LNG out, take CO2 back?
Can you transport CO2 in LNG carriers? This 14-page report explores an option to decarbonize global LNG: (i) capture the CO2 from combusting natural gas (ii) liquefy it, including heat…
LNG trucks: Asian equation?
LNG trucking is more expensive than diesel trucking in the developed world. But Asian trucking markets are different, especially China, where exponentially accelerating LNG trucks will displace 150kbpd of oil…
LNG Ships: a new record-setter?
…is also the most expensive LNG-powered ship ever built (eclipsing Carnival’s $1.1bn AidaNova cruise ship). It has the world’s first Type-C LNG tank in an enclosed column. Numbers are updated in…
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…
LNG as a Shipping Fuel: the Economics
…LNG (b) small-scale LNG and (c) LNG bunkering, to supply a relatively fuel-intensive shipping route. After IMO 2020 regulations buoy diesel pricing, it should be economical to fuel newbuild ships…
