Worldwide, small-scale LNG liqueA�

Editor-in-Chief
faction capacity is expected to expand by
30% over the next 4 yr, increasing from
33.9 MMtpy in 2021 to 43.92 MMtpy in
2025. Asia will account for 2.82 MMtpy
of the new capacity, followed by North
America with 2.48 MMtpy.
By country, Russia is set to lead the
small-scale LNG capacity expansion by
adding 2.94 MMtpy at up to 16 newbuild
facilities and expansion projects by 2025. Close behind, China
and Oman are expected to add 2.81 MMtpy and 2 MMtpy,
respectively. While the majority (2.84 MMtpy) of Russia's capacity
additions will be newbuilds and the remaining capacity
will come from expansions, all of China's capacity additions
will be from new plants.
In India, domestic cryogenic storage and regasification solutions
provider INOXCVA is working with Japanese Mitsui
& Co. to establish a virtual pipeline to service growing demand
for LNG in the country. The partnership will establish
small-scale LNG infrastructure, including logistics and receiving
facilities at the customer end, to offer LNG access to customers
not presently connected to pipelines.
Although Europe's preference for renewable energy is
growing in light of its net zero carbon target, the region is still
looking to LNG to supplement its energy needs. Stricter marine
emissions regulations are encouraging the use of smallscale
LNG as a bunker fuel. Despite sustained low oil prices
and market uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a
significant increase has been seen in small-scale LNG projects
in the region. GP
