19 August 2026

2025: Liquefaction capacity 525 MTPA vs regasification capacity 1,114 MTPA — 2.1×
Future additions: Liquefaction capacity 250 MTPA vs regasification capacity 230 MTPA — 0.9×

Market — baseload, seasonal or peak gas demand
Capacity — required send-out and gas-grid limitations
Storage — cargo size, delivery frequency and supply buffer
Site conditions — metocean, water depth, dredging and land availability
Schedule and commercial model — permanent CAPEX or charter-based fast-track deployment

🇿🇦 2035: Port of Ngqura — 3.6 MTPA

🇳🇿 Port Taranaki LNG — Floating terminal

🇱🇰 Sri Lanka LNG Import Terminal, Kerawalapitiya — Floating terminal

🇧🇩 Bangladesh Third FSRU, Moheshkhali — 4.5 MTPA

🇲🇦 Nador West Med — 3.8 MTPA, ≥160K m³ (FSRU concept; on hold)

“Under construction” includes construction, commissioning, terminal redevelopment and final FSRU deployment. “Advanced pre-FID” includes pre-FEED, FEED, permitting, conditional FID, procurement and commercial development. “Early-stage” covers feasibility and initial development concepts.
Years indicate expected start-up unless marked FID. Projects without a reliably disclosed schedule are listed without a year.
The list includes projects with sufficient public information on development status, schedule or capacity. Undisclosed and on-hold capacity is excluded from the MTPA totals.
Installed liquefaction and regasification capacities follow the IGU World LNG Report. Future additions use the IEA Global LNG Capacity Tracker for liquefaction and the IGU project pipeline for regasification.
Units: Regasification capacity is expressed in MTPA and LNG storage in m³ (K = thousand; M = million). For indicative conversion, 1 MTPA ≈ 133 MMscf/d; therefore, 4.5 MTPA ≈ 600 MMscf/d.
