LNG Liquefaction Industry Report 2026: Capacity And Capital Expenditure Outlook With Details Of All Operating And Upcoming Plants 2020-2030

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Key market opportunities for LNG lie in the anticipated doubling of liquefaction capacity from 2026 to 2030, driven by rising natural gas demand, especially in Asia, and Europe's shift from Russian gas. The U.S. project pipeline and tech advancements further bolster efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Dublin, April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "LNG Liquefaction Industry, 2026-2030: Capacity and Capital Expenditure Outlook with Details of All Operating and Upcoming Plants" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.
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.
