Market Overview
According to projections, the worldwide small Scale LNG market would be worth USD 2.3 billion within 2020 and USD 2.6 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 3%.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced on a small scale is handled in industrial facilities with constrained capacities. After being cooled to shallow temperatures, the gas is changed into an odorless, colorless liquid that can be re-gasified for various uses.
Small-scale LNG is frequently used to satisfy off-grid power generating needs in remote residential and commercial complexes since it is more environmentally friendly than oil and diesel. Additionally, this is widely used as a heating fuel, industrial feedstock, and transportation fuel within the commercial, industrial, and residential industries.
LNG is mainly utilized to power ships and trucks. It is because of its advantages over diesel and fuel oil in terms of cost and the environment. Due to LNG's non-corrosive as well as non-toxic characteristics, a vehicle's lifespan can be increased by up to 3 times. In addition, LNG has a relatively low boiling point, which means minimal heat and mechanical energy are needed to turn it into a gas at increased pressure. Because of this, LNG is a valuable fuel for transportation.
The use of LNG within the transportation sector has been constrained as a result. It is tough to handle LNG since even a slight temperature difference can cause the fuel to boil and vaporize, resulting in fuel waste. Consequently, it renders passenger automobiles far less economically viable than heavier vehicles like commercial trucks.
