Small Scale LNG Terminals Market by Terminal, Mode of Supply, Application

List of Tables

The Small Scale LNG Terminals Market was valued at USD 2.86 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 3.07 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.31%, to USD 4.69 billion by 2030.

Small Scale LNG (SSLNG) terminals are specialized facilities designed for the storage, regasification, and distribution of liquefied natural gas on a limited scale, typically serving localized industrial, commercial, and transportation needs. The necessity of SSLNG terminals arises from the escalating demand for cleaner energy alternatives, driven by stringent environmental regulations and the need for flexible solutions to access remote or underserved areas with limited infrastructure. Their applications span power generation, fuel for marine and road transportation, and industrial heating processes. The end-use scope is diverse, encompassing sectors such as marine transport, trucking, remote power generation, and energy needs in off-grid areas.
