LNG is rapidly playing a bigger role in the energy sector, and the market for it is expected to grow at around 5% annually. Global demand could increase from about 240 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to around 430 mtpa in 2025.
Since LNG is a substitute to intermediate fuel oil, gasoil and diesel in transport, the market is expected to grow rapidly and the possibilities are wide as the horizon. The first ones to take action are those in areas that have emission control – they took a step forward and started to develop the LNG market.
In other areas LNG is also used and the tendency to use it as a marine fuel is spreading globally. At this moment, it is predicted that the Chinese will have the most influence in global LNG market growth. Undoubtedly, the best outcome is to come for those industry players that are involved at every stage of the LNG value chain. They find the fields, extract gas, liquefy and ship it, then return the LNG back to gas and distribute to end users.
On the whole, the LNG market is about to expand. This leads to development of new technologies and innovations. Wisdom Events – a team of skilled market analysts and professional event organizers – is hosting a LNG orientated business platform. It will take place in Texas, Houston, on the 27-28th of February, 2018. The LNG US Summit will host global leaders under one roof.
