简介目录

预计到 2025 年，小型液化天然气市场规模将达到 118 亿美元，到 2030 年将达到 193.4 亿美元，在预测期（2025-2030 年）内，复合年增长率将达到 10.39%。

小型液化天然气市场-IMG1

需求主要由各行业和偏远社区从石油和柴油转向天然气驱动，开发商正部署预製工厂以利用閒置天然气并缩短建造週期。针对年产能低于100万吨的液化技术、液化天然气在散装运输领域日益增长的应用，以及主要经济体的监管激励措施，都在推动强劲的资本形成。随着全球能源巨头和灵活敏捷的专业公司竞相获取优质资产、建立策略联盟并在整个价值链上建立独特的技术平台，竞争日益激烈。儘管由于地缘政治不确定性加剧以及合约期限向短期转移，现货价格波动性有所上升，但电力、航运和卡车运输业对液化天然气的持续采用仍带来了持续的成长机会。

全球小型液化天然气市场趋势与洞察

国际海事组织和欧盟燃料协会收紧海上硫排放上限，加速海上液化天然气燃料库的普及。

国际海事组织（IMO）和欧盟「排放交易体系（ETS）对停靠欧盟港口的大型船舶的二氧化碳排放进行定价，而「燃料欧盟海事一揽子计画」则要求到2025年将碳排放强度降低2%。然而，以LNG为燃料的船舶，其全生命週期排放为76.3-92.3克二氧化碳当量/兆焦耳（gCO2e/MJ），则有时间到2034年才能达到这一目标。预计2023年，全球LNG燃料需求将达到1,290万吨，2024年底，将有56艘LNG加註船投入使用。船东们正积极回应，创纪录地订购双燃料新船和整修，推动欧洲各港口对岸上装卸臂、低温软管和安全通讯协定的投资。

快速建造用于偏远矿区和离网发电的模组化液化厂

在管线网路稀少的地区，安装在撬装式或驳船上的工厂预製液化装置降低了进入门槛。贝克休斯公司收到的航空衍生涡轮机组和电机驱动装置的订单有所增加，这些装置占地面积小，并能实现现场作业和模组化製造的重迭。印尼的一项试点计画表明，向偏远地区的柴油发电厂供应液化天然气可将平准化发电成本降低55%至60%。对于希望将废气天然气变现的非洲矿业公司而言，模组化方案同样具有吸引力，与柴油进口相比，其投资回收期更短。

撒哈拉以南非洲稀疏的ISO罐式回程传输物流

尼日利亚已探明的150兆立方英尺天然气蕴藏量仍未充分利用，其ISO罐式货柜车队面临道路网路落后和双向贸易流量不足的问题。由于缺乏回程货物，业者不得不重新调配空罐，导致单次运输成本上升，并降低了内陆州的市场竞争力。区域能源组织强调，如果液化天然气要取代居民和小型商业领域的生物质能源，就必须建立多式联运走廊并统一海关程序。

细分市场分析

液化终端将占2024年收入的62.5%，这反映了它们在没有管道的地区实现天然气货币化的关键作用。小型液化天然气市场规模的这一部分得益于简化的小型模组化反应器（SMR）工艺，这些工艺在资本成本和能源效率之间取得了平衡。光是美国就计划将微型液化天然气产能提高到每天230万加仑。随着再气化设施的快速发展，液化设施在小型液化天然气市场份额预计将略有下降，但考虑到矿场和农村公共产业新增的非电力需求，绝对吞吐量可能会增加。

浮体式储存再气化装置（FSRU）的试运行成本约为3亿美元，试运行期为一至三年，远低于陆上替代方案，预计到2030年将以14%的复合年增长率成长。浅吃水船舶和铰接式拖船等创新技术使得FSRU能够进入以往难以到达的河流和近岸锚地。开发商正将这些FSRU与发电驳船和模组化复合迴圈发电厂结合，以增加在非洲、南亚和加勒比地区的天然气销售。

2024年，公路运输收入占总收入的52.5%，这得益于其能够向管道网路覆盖范围之外的地区进行配送。光是Stabilis Solutions一家公司就利用43,000辆卡车运输超过4.2亿加仑的货物，充分展现了这种「虚拟管道」模式的强大韧性。其成本竞争力主要归功于模组化低温帮浦、标准ISO储槽介面以及能够优化週转时间的GPS定位车队调度工具。

燃料库成长最为迅猛，复合年增长率高达14.5%，这主要得益于低硫海运法规的推动，该法规有利于液化天然气双燃料船舶的发展。目前，液化天然气供应已覆盖198个港口，船舶燃料供应船队由56艘专用船舶组成。为了适应港口布局和船舶航程安排，供应链正日益融合陆路运输、船对船运输和管道运输等多种运输方式。

小型液化天然气市场报告按类型（液化终端、再气化终端）、供应方式（卡车、转运/燃料库、管道/铁路、ISO集装箱）、应用（运输、发电、其他）、最终用户（公共产业/独立发电商、上游油气运营商、其他）和地区（北美、欧洲、亚太、南美、中东和非洲）进行细分。

区域分析

预计到2024年，亚太地区将贡献全球47.5%的收入，并在2030年之前维持16%的最高复合年增长率。该地区的进口能力预计将从2022年的1527万吨/年增加到2025年的2300万吨/年。中国计划在2024年进口7,864万吨液化天然气，并积极部署其「蓝色走廊」加气站。印尼透过证明小型液化天然气发电系统比高速柴油发电系统性能低60%，为数百个岛屿电网的建设铺平了道路，从而支持了这一模式。

欧洲约占全球天然气市场份额的25%，这主要得益于严格的碳排放法规以及摆脱对俄罗斯天然气的依赖。欧洲大陆拥有28个大型进口终端和8个小型设施，总合气供给能力达2,270亿立方米，相当于2024年需求的40%。北欧丛集在海运领域引入了先进的环保竞标，鹿特丹、泽布吕赫和克莱佩达等港口为该地区的燃料库网络提供了支持。自2021年以来，液化天然气在欧盟天然气总供应量中的占比增加了一倍以上，为灵活的行动终端提供了稳定的基本负载。

北美约占全球液化天然气销售额的20%，其中美国是技术领导者和最大的出口国。自2018年以来，美国的液化天然气出口能力增加了两倍，到2030年，随着已获批准计划的推进，出口能力将增加近一倍。该地区的小规模液化天然气市场受益于丰富的页岩气资源、扣除额以及液化天然气作为卡车和铁路燃料的快速普及——预计其出口量将从2018年的4.99亿加仑增至2030年的19亿加仑。加拿大和墨西哥的开发商也在探索模组化工厂，以连接偏远矿区和工业。

剩余需求主要分布在拉丁美洲和中东及非洲。拉丁美洲的成长中心是巴西、智利和多明尼加共和国，这些国家采用浮体式进口解决方案，可快速推出液化天然气发电计划。中东地区天然气原料丰富，小型液化天然气计画主要用于为偏远油田作业和岛屿旅游设施供电。非洲是液化天然气覆盖范围最窄的地区，受到物流瓶颈的限制，但一旦运输瓶颈得到缓解，奈及利亚和莫三比克将拥有巨大的发展潜力。

第七章 市场机会与未来展望

简介目录
Product Code: 55955

The Small-scale LNG Market size is estimated at USD 11.80 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 19.34 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 10.39% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Small-scale LNG - Market - IMG1

Demand is propelled by industrial and remote communities that are switching from oil and diesel to natural gas, while developers monetize stranded gas and deploy prefabricated plants that shorten construction schedules. Liquefaction technologies optimized for capacities below 1 MTPA, the widening use of LNG in heavy-duty transport, and regulatory incentives in major economies underpin robust capital formation. Competition is intensifying as global energy majors and agile specialists race to secure prime assets, form strategic alliances, and embed proprietary technology platforms across the value chain. Heightened geopolitical uncertainty and the pivot to short-term contracting have raised spot-price volatility, yet continued LNG adoption across power, marine, and trucking segments points to sustained growth opportunities.

Global Small-scale LNG Market Trends and Insights

Tightening IMO & FuelEU Maritime Sulphur Caps Accelerating Marine LNG Bunkering Adoption

New sulphur and greenhouse-gas limits set by the IMO and the FuelEU Maritime package are encouraging vessel operators to adopt LNG to avoid rising carbon compliance costs. The EU Emissions Trading System now prices CO2 from large ships calling at EU ports, and the FuelEU rule requires a 2% cut in carbon intensity by 2025, a target that LNG-fueled ships can meet through 2034 thanks to life-cycle emissions between 76.3-92.3 gCO2e/MJ. Global bunkering demand reached 12.9 million t in 2023, supported by a fleet of 56 LNG bunker vessels by end-2024. Shipowners are responding with record dual-fuel new-build orders and retrofits, driving investments in shore-side loading arms, cryogenic hoses, and safety protocols across European ports.

Rapid Build-Out of Modular Liquefaction Plants for Remote Mining & Off-Grid Power

Factory-fabricated liquefiers mounted on skids or barges are lowering entry barriers in regions where pipeline grids are sparse. Baker Hughes notes rising orders for aeroderivative turbine trains and electric-motor drives that shrink footprints and allow site work to overlap with module fabrication. Indonesia's pilot program showed that supplying remote diesel-fired power plants with LNG can cut levelized generation costs by 55-60% and still yield delivered prices of 10.35-11.28 USD/MMBtu. The modular approach is equally attractive to African miners seeking to monetize flare gas, yielding shorter payback horizons relative to diesel imports.

Sparse ISO-Tank Back-Haul Logistics in Sub-Saharan Africa

Nigeria's 150 tcf of proven gas reserves remain underutilized as ISO-tank fleets face poor road links and minimal two-way trade flows. A lack of return cargo forces operators to reposition empty containers, inflating per-trip costs and eroding the competitiveness of the small-scale LNG market in landlocked states. Regional energy agencies highlight the need for multimodal corridors and harmonized customs procedures before LNG can displace biomass in residential and small commercial segments.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Heavy-Duty Truck Fleet Shift to LNG in China's "Blue Corridor" Program
  2. Caribbean & Central-American Micro-Grid Conversions to LNG-to-Power
  3. High Boil-Off & Re-Liquefaction Costs Below 0.05 MTPA Plants

For complete list of drivers and restraints, kindly check the Table Of Contents.

Segment Analysis

Liquefaction terminals generated 62.5% of 2024 revenue, reflecting their pivotal role in gas monetization where pipelines are absent. This portion of the small-scale LNG market size is supported by simplified SMR process trains that balance capital cost and energy efficiency. Developers in the United States alone plan to lift combined micro-LNG capacity to 2.3 million gallons per day. The small-scale LNG market share held by liquefaction facilities is expected to decline slightly as regasification assets grow faster, yet absolute throughput will rise given new off-grid demand from mines and rural utilities.

A parallel wave of floating storage and regasification units is reshaping import options for emerging buyers. FSRUs require USD 300 million and 1-3 years to commission, far below onshore alternatives, and are forecast to post a 14% CAGR through 2030. Innovations such as shallow-draft hulls and articulated tug barges allow access to rivers and near-shore anchorages once deemed unreachable. Developers pair these units with power barges or modular combined-cycle plants, unlocking incremental offtake in Africa, South Asia, and the Caribbean.

Road-based delivery held 52.5% of 2024 revenue thanks to its ability to reach sites beyond pipeline grids. Stabilis Solutions alone has moved more than 420 million gallons via 43,000 truckloads, demonstrating the resilience of this "virtual pipeline" model. Cost competitiveness stems from modular cryogenic pumps, standard ISO-tank interfaces, and GPS-linked fleet scheduling tools that optimize turnaround times.

Bunkering exhibits the sharpest growth at a 14.5% CAGR, propelled by low-sulphur marine rules that favor LNG-dual-fuel ships. LNG is now available in 198 ports, and the bunker fleet stands at 56 specialized vessels-both numbers are poised to multiply as more than 1,200 LNG-capable ships could sail by 2028. Supply chains increasingly blend truck-to-ship, ship-to-ship, and pipeline-to-ship delivery methods to match port layouts and vessel schedules.

The Small-Scale LNG Market Report is Segmented by Type (Liquefaction Terminal and Regasification Terminal), Mode of Supply (Truck, Transshipment and Bunkering, Pipeline and Rail, and ISO Container), Application (Transportation, Power Generation, and Others), End-User (Utilities and IPPs, Oil and Gas Upstream Operators, and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Middle East and Africa).

Geography Analysis

Asia-Pacific generated 47.5% of global revenue in 2024 and is forecast to maintain the highest 16% CAGR through 2030. Regional import capacity rose from 15.27 mtpa in 2022 to an expected 23 mtpa by 2025. China remains the linchpin, importing 78.64 MT of LNG in 2024, while aggressively rolling out "Blue Corridor" refueling nodes. Indonesia corroborates the model by demonstrating that small-scale LNG can undercut high-speed diesel by up to 60%, opening avenues for hundreds of island grids.

Europe accounted for roughly 25% of market value, driven by stringent carbon rules and diversification from Russian gas. The continent hosts 28 large-scale import terminals and 8 small-scale facilities totaling 227 bcm of regas capacity, equivalent to 40% of 2024 demand. The Nordic cluster deploys the most advanced environmental tendering in maritime transport, and ports such as Rotterdam, Zeebrugge, and Klaipeda anchor regional bunkering networks. The EU's share of LNG in overall gas supply has more than doubled since 2021, translating into stable base-load for flexible mobile terminals.

North America contributed roughly 20% of revenue, with the United States as the technology leader and largest exporter. US LNG export capacity has tripled since 2018 and will nearly double again by 2030 on sanctioned projects. The local small-scale LNG market climbed from 499 million gallons in 2018 toward 1.9 billion gallons by 2030, propelled by shale gas abundance, tax credits, and accelerating adoption of LNG as truck and rail fuel. Canadian and Mexican developers also explore modular plants to connect remote mines and industrial parks.

The remainder of demand is split among Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Latin America's growth centers on Brazil, Chile, and the Dominican Republic, where floating import solutions allow fast ramp-up of LNG-to-power projects. The Middle East uses small-scale LNG mainly for remote oilfield operations and island tourism complexes, leveraging abundant gas feedstock. Africa remains the least penetrated region, constrained by logistics gaps, yet Nigeria and Mozambique present sizable upside if transport bottlenecks ease.
