FTI Consulting conducted a review of the small-scale LNG market in Europe that covered 14 countries and six market segments served by LNG trucks and ISO-containers.

Based on multiple interviews and proprietary market modelling, we forecast a growing demand across Europe, supported by increased small-scale LNG availability, contractual standardization, as well as sustained price and environmental advantages against oil products.

Key findings of the study

Small-scale LNG segmentation

The small-scale LNG market is a collection of niche demand segments that serve either stationary energy end-user (industry & residential), or mobile energy end-use (transport), via two products: LNG or CNG from LNG (L-CNG).

Past demand and drivers for growth

The small-scale LNG market, as defined in our study, has grown by around 5% p.a. over the last decade, driven by both price advantage and environmental benefits when compared to alternative oil products.

Demand forecasts to 2025

We estimate that small-scale LNG demand could increase by 17% p.a. between 2020 and 2025...
