The small and micro-scale LNG industry continues to show promise to displace more polluting fuels in shipping, trucking, and power generation, with participation from major energy companies and ample policy support. More stringent emissions regulations are likely to spur additional LNG demand, while the lower capex requirements and short cycle returns de-risk small scale projects from long-term demand uncertainty. Small scale projects can provide an outlet for flared volumes that have no takeaway capacity at present and are more likely to be accepted in environmentally aware communities. However, continuous cost discipline is necessary to ensure competitiveness for the end user. Can this niche and nascent industry revolutionize LNG consumption?
