According to Energy Web Atlas and Hydrocarbon Processing’s Construction Boxscore Database, more than 400 active gas processing/LNG projects are under development. The Asia-Pacific and US regions account for just over half of all active gas processing/LNG projects globally. Qatar continues to be the largest exporter of LNG; however, Australia is on the back end of its LNG buildout. Australia has more than 70 MMtpy of LNG export capacity and is challenging Qatar—which has 77 MMtpy of capacity—for the top LNG exporter. The US is building out its LNG export capacity, as well. Total US LNG export capacity is forecast to surpass 70 MMtpy by the end of the decade. GP
