Global LNG Liquefaction Industry, 2026-2030: Capacity and Capital Expenditure Outlook with Details of All Operating and Upcoming Plants

Summary

Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction capacity is expected to more than double between 2026 and 2030 fueled by rising natural gas demand as it serves as a transition fuel between higher-emitting fossil fuels and renewables. Additional momentum will come from Europe’s ongoing shift away from Russian gas, strong natural gas demand growth across Asia, robust pipeline of projects in the US, and continued technological improvements that lower costs and improve project and operational efficiencies.

Scope
  • LNG liquefaction capacity data from 2020 to 2030, including train size (as of 2025), contracted and non-contracted capacity data (for 2026 to 2030)
  • LNG liquefaction capacity additions (for both new build and expansion projects) at the global as well as the regional level by key countries for 2026 to 2030
  • Capital expenditure outlook of liquefaction plants (for both new build and expansion projects) at the global as well as the regional level by key countries and companies for 2026 to 2030
  • Provides key details such as plant name, operator name, and plant status for all active, planned, and announced LNG liquefaction plants globally in a separate Excel for 2020 to 2030
Reasons to Buy
  • Obtain the most up-to-date information available on active, planned, and announced LNG liquefaction plants globally
  • Identify growth segments and opportunities in the liquefaction industry
  • Facilitate decision-making based on strong historical and outlook of capacity data
  • Assess key liquefaction LNG plant data of your competitors
