Natural gas has developed into the fossil fuel of choice for power generation, industrial use and domestic heating.

For this reason, LNG is regarded as a high-growth market and is expected to become a low-carbon bridging fuel, pending full deployment of renewables and green or blue hydrogen-based fuels. At present, the bulk of LNG is produced at low cost in large baseload plants with capacities of up to 7 MMtpy per train and having significant LNG storage facilities. After shipment, LNG is typically stored in a receiving te
