報告概述
2023年,全球小型液化天然氣市場規模為462.5億美元,預計2031年將達到1,206.1億美元,在預測期間(2024-2031年)複合年成長率為13.77%。
液化天然氣 (LNG) 是一種透過液化過程轉化為液態的天然氣。液化天然氣的使用非常廣泛,預計將在預測期內推動對小型液化天然氣的需求。最清潔的化石燃料是天然氣,排放量最少。
由於氣候變遷的強力限制、供需錯配的擴大、清潔和永續能源意識的增強以及化石資源的減少,能源產業面臨挑戰。由於天然氣體積大,因此有儲存問題。為了方便運輸,天然氣在液化設施轉換為液體形式,液化氣在再氣化終端轉換為氣體。
重型車輛、海運以及工業和發電等各種最終用途應用對小型液化天然氣的需求不斷成長,推動了對小型液化天然氣的需求。然而,高昂的運輸成本預計將限制市場擴張。
液化天然氣燃料船隊數量不斷增加
最近不斷成長的能源需求增加了對液化天然氣(LNG)的需求,導致液化天然氣產量(LNG)增加。此外,許多偏遠地區缺乏電力,而政府改善農村電氣化的措施近年來增加了對液化天然氣的需求。
此外,由於工業化和家庭需求的增加對能源的需求增加,全球小型液化天然氣(LNG)市場預計將成長。推動市場成長的主要原因之一是快速工業化,以及對節能和具有成本效益的能源需求的增加。此外,運輸業廣泛的產品應用正在推動經濟發展。
液化天然氣的能源成本優勢及其在運輸業的應用
液化天然氣(LNG)也用於烹飪和取暖。由於人口成長,預計在整個預測期內小型液化天然氣(LNG)市場的發展潛力將會增加。此外,在預測年內,天然氣價格下降和原油生產過剩導致的原油價格波動可能會刺激小型液化天然氣(LNG)產業的擴張。
商用車製造商正在放棄傳統的燃料來源,轉而使用液化天然氣,因為液化天然氣燃燒充分,產生的碳排放量更少。隨之而來的是,全球低度開發和偏遠地區不斷成長的發電需求提振了市場前景。推動發展的另一個因素是擴大使用液化天然氣作為船舶燃料,而不是重燃油、船用輕柴油和柴油。
液化天然氣運輸成本高。
液化天然氣運輸價格是整個液化天然氣供應鏈中波動最大的成本組成部分,對液化天然氣供應競爭力有重大影響。即使需要更多船舶來滿足不斷成長的需求,在對液化天然氣運輸船實施更嚴格的安全保障要求之前,液化天然氣也不太可能造成嚴重的額外海上堵塞。預計熟練人員短缺將成為船舶的一個問題。
細分市場分析
按應用分類,小型液化天然氣市場分為重型車輛、運輸、工業和電力等。
交通運輸佔最大佔有率。
與柴油和燃油相比,液化天然氣具有成本效益和環境優勢,主要用於為卡車和船舶提供燃料。由於液化天然氣無腐蝕性且無毒,因此可以將車輛的使用壽命延長三倍之多。此外,由於液化天然氣的沸點非常低,只需少量的熱量即可將其在高壓下轉化為氣態,幾乎不需要機械能。因此,液化天然氣是一種良好的運輸燃料。
處理液化天然氣是一項艱鉅的任務,因為即使溫度很小的波動也會導致燃料沸騰和蒸發,導致燃料浪費。因此,乘用車的可行性遠低於商用卡車等重型車輛。液化天然氣在交通運輸領域的使用受到限制。液化天然氣作為運輸燃料在世界各地越來越受歡迎。液化天然氣動力卡車已開始在中國、美國和歐洲部署,主要用於長途貨運。
政府有關脫碳和排放控制的政策和法律,如國六和歐洲綠色新政,是罪魁禍首。歐盟委員會於 2019 年推出的《歐洲綠色協議》是一攬子政策舉措,旨在到 2050 年使歐洲實現碳中和。這一目標。據 SEA-LNG 稱,截至 2020 年,有 75 艘液化天然氣燃料船舶投入營運,另有 155 艘液化天然氣燃料船舶。
國際海事組織 (IMO) 於 2020 年 1 月開始實施一項新法律,對全球船用燃料實施 0.5% 的硫含量上限。與傳統的石油基船用燃料油相比,液化天然氣作為船用燃料已成為更現實的替代品,因為它的氮氧化物排放量減少了約 90%,幾乎沒有硫氧化物,也幾乎沒有顆粒物。因此,液化天然氣將在清潔空氣驅動中發揮關鍵作用。這也將對小型液化天然氣業務產生重大正面影響。
市場地域佔有率
亞太地區小型液化天然氣的應用不斷增加。
近年來,亞太地區在實施小型液化天然氣計畫方面一直處於全球領先地位。隨著中國、印度、新加坡、日本等國家天然氣需求的激增,小型液化天然氣(SSLNG)越來越受歡迎。國內生產和透過管道和液化天然氣接收站進口是中國天然氣市場的一部分。中國小型液化天然氣設施擴建的主要原因是由於燃料價格高於天然氣而導致液化天然氣卡車數量增加。
新加坡港口的液化天然氣加註設施推動了這個城市國家的小規模液化天然氣經濟。新加坡是世界上最重要的貿易港口之一的樞紐,也是國際海運的全球領導者。 Pacific Emerald 是一艘液化天然氣燃料油輪,於 2021 年 5 月首次由 FueLNG 和新加坡海事及港口管理局 (MPA) 在新加坡加註。 FueLNG進一步表示,到2021年,預計將提供30至50次船對船液化天然氣加註活動。

2024 年目標受眾
Report Overview
The Global Small Scale LNG Market size was worth US$ 46.25 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach US$ 120.61 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 13.77% during the forecast period (2024-2031).
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a type of natural gas converted to a liquid state through a process known as liquefaction. The usage of LNG is widespread, which is projected to drive demand for small-scale LNG over the forecast period. The cleanest fossil fuel is natural gas, emitting the fewest emissions.
Due to strong restrictions against climate change, a widening supply and demand mismatch, growing awareness about cleaner and sustainable energy sources and decreasing fossil resources, the energy sector faces challenges. Because of its large volume, natural gas has storage concerns. For the convenience of transportation, natural gas is transformed to liquid form at liquefaction facilities and the liquefied gas is converted to gas at terminals of regasification.
The growing demand for small-scale LNG in various end-use applications such as heavy-duty vehicles, marine transport and industrial & power generation is driving demand for small-scale LNG. However, hefty transportation costs are projected to limit market expansion.
Rising number of LNG-fueled fleet
The rising energy demand has recently increased the need for liquefied natural gas (LNG), resulting in increased LNG output (LNG). In addition, numerous distant locations lack electricity and government measures to improve rural electrification have increased the demand for liquefied natural gas in recent years.
Furthermore, due to the increased need for energy due to industrialization and rising household needs, the global market for small-scale liquefied natural gas is predicted to grow (LNG). One of the primary reasons driving the market's growth is rapid industrialization, accompanied by increased demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective energy sources. Furthermore, the transportation industry's widespread product uptake is boosting the economy.
Energy-cost advantage of LNG and its usage in the transport industry
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is also used for cooking and heating. The development potential for the small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) market is predicted to increase throughout the projection period due to the rising population. Furthermore, in the projection year, price reductions in natural gas and price fluctuations in crude oil due to overproduction of crude oil are likely to stimulate the expansion of the small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry.
Commercial vehicle manufacturers are moving away from traditional fuel sources in favor of LNG, which has full combustion and produces fewer carbon emissions. Following it, the growing demand for power generation in underdeveloped and isolated places worldwide boosts the market's prospects. Another factor driving development is the rising usage of LNG as a ship fuel rather than heavy fuel oil, marine gas oil & diesel oil.
LNG shipping costs are high.
LNG shipping prices are the most volatile cost component in the whole LNG supply chain and they have a significant impact on LNG supply competitiveness. Even if more ships are needed to fulfill increased demand, LNG is unlikely to generate considerable additional maritime congestion until more rigorous safety and security requirements for handling LNG carriers are implemented. Skilled personnel shortages are anticipated to be a problem for the ships.
Market Segment Analysis
By application, the small-scale LNG market is segmented into heavy-duty vehicles, transport, industrial & power and others.
Transport to hold the lions' share.
LNG is largely utilized to fuel trucks and ships, owing to its cost-effectiveness and environmental advantages over diesel and fuel oil. LNG can increase the life of a vehicle by up to three times because it is non-corrosive and non-toxic. Furthermore, because LNG has a very low boiling point, just a small amount of heat is necessary to convert it to a gaseous state at high pressure, requiring little mechanical energy. As a result, LNG is a good transportation fuel.
Handling LNG is a difficult undertaking because even a small fluctuation in temperature can cause the fuel to boil and vaporize, resulting in fuel waste. As a result, passenger cars are much less viable than heavier vehicles like commercial trucks. The use of LNG in the transportation sector has been restricted. LNG as a transportation fuel is gaining popularity around the world. LNG-powered trucks have already begun to be deployed in China, U.S. and Europe, mostly for long-distance freight transport.
Government policies and laws on decarbonization and emission control, such as China VI and the European Green Deal, are largely to blame. The European Green Deal, launched by the European Commission in 2019, is a package of policy initiatives to make Europe carbon-neutral by 2050. The regulations stress the use of LNG as a fuel for trucks and marine vessels and they briefly highlight the role of LNG in achieving the goal. According to SEA-LNG, 75 LNG-fueled ships were in service as of 2020, with another 155 LNG-fueled ships.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) began a new law in January 2020, imposing a global sulfur cap of 0.5% on marine fuels. Compared to traditional petroleum-based marine fuel oils, LNG has become a more realistic alternative as a marine fuel because it emits about 90% less NOx, virtually no SOx and virtually no particulate matter. As a result, LNG will play a critical part in this clean air drive. It will also have a major positive impact on the small-scale LNG business.
Market Geographical Share
Rising implementation of small-scale LNG in Asia-Pacific.
Asia-Pacific has been a global leader in implementing small-scale LNG projects in recent years. Small-scale LNG (SSLNG) has grown in popularity as natural gas demand has surged in China, India, Singapore, Japan and others. Domestic production and import via pipelines and LNG terminals are part of China's natural gas market. The primary reason for the expansion of small LNG facilities in China is the rise in the number of LNG trucks due to the higher fuel price than natural gas.
The LNG bunkering facilities in Singapore's ports drive the small-scale LNG economy in the city-state. Singapore is a hub of one of the world's most important trading ports and is a global leader in international marine shipping. The Pacific Emerald, an LNG-fueled oil tanker, was bunkered in Singapore for the first time in May 2021 by FueLNG and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). FueLNG further stated that by 2021, it expects to provide 30 to 50 ship-to-ship LNG bunkering activities.
Market Competitive Landscape
Major global Small-Scale LNG market companies include The Linde Group, Wartsila Oyj Abp, Baker Hughes Company, Honeywell International Inc., Chart Industries Inc., Black & Veatch Corp, Anthony Veder Group NV, Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Engie SA and Eni SpA.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered the global market for Small-Scale industrial LNG. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, almost all major countries witnessed a slowdown in economic development, affecting consumer purchasing habits. The COVID-19 epidemic has placed unprecedented strain on economies and society; its consequences will be severe and while its longevity is unknown, it is too early to predict negative effects.
The LNG industry has been greatly impacted, posing several obstacles, but there are also likely to be some opportunities. Shipments have been hampered by quarantine. However, this has resulted in a delay rather than a reduction in supplies. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced the market, causing supply chain disruptions, reduced energy use and discouraging investments in newer technology. However, as large-scale LNG plants face increasing pressure to provide returns to investors, operating corporations are increasingly supporting small-scale LNG projects.
Russia-Ukraine War Impact
The Russia-Ukraine war has had a significant impact on the small-scale LNG (liquefied natural gas) industry, disrupting supply lines and driving up energy prices. The dispute has led to a rearrangement of energy channels and supplies, with several European countries aiming to reduce their dependency on Russian gas. This transformation has raised demand for alternative energy sources, notably small-scale LNG, as governments seek more dependable and diverse energy supplies.
On the other hand, the war has caused uncertainty and volatility in the energy markets, which may provide challenges for small-scale LNG projects. The high cost of LNG, combined with price variations, can have an impact on the economic viability of these projects. Furthermore, logistical delays and geopolitical concerns might stymie the development and implementation of small-scale LNG projects. Despite these challenges, the desire for energy diversification and security drives growth and innovation in the small-scale LNG sector.
