Market Overview:
The global small-scale LNG market size reached US$ 30.6 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 48.1 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.94% during 2022-2027. The increasing demand for clean and sustainable fuel, rising construction of liquefaction terminals, and the growing environmental awareness among the masses represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Small-scale liquified natural gas (LNG) refers to the production and distribution of limited quantities of fuel from liquefaction plants to the regasification units. It is cooled at freezing temperatures and transformed into an odorless and colorless liquid that can be re-gasified for various uses. Small-scale LNG is stored in specially designed tanks that can be placed on trains and vessels for transportation and safely hauled to the destination by a truck. It is widely used to serve various off-grid requirements and generate power for operating heavy machinery, which are employed in emerging industries. It also provides energy to communities that live far away from gas fields and pipelines in remote areas. It is more sustainable and requires minimum capital investment due to lower infrastructure and technological demands for setting up plants as compared to oil and diesel. Furthermore, as small-scale LNG can be vaporized and pumped downstream into the system while repairing pipelines and flow disruption, its demand is catalyzing worldwide.

Small Scale LNG Market Trends:
At present, the increasing demand for small-scale LNG for heating purposes in the commercial, residential, and industrial sectors represents one of the primary factors influencing the market positively. Besides this, the growing number of small-scale LNG liquefaction terminals around the world, as they require significantly lower capital investments, is offering a favorable market outlook. In addition, the rising adoption of small-scale LNG as an efficient fuel for various heavy commercial vehicles, such as multi-axle rigid and haulage trucks, tractors, and trailers, used for long-haul distribution and bulk cargo transportation is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, the increasing utilization of energy-efficient and cost-effective energy sources due to the rising environmental awareness among the masses across the globe is contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, governing agencies of various countries are encouraging the usage of sustainable clean fuel to reduce the emission of automobile exhausts and decrease the negative impacts of air pollution on human health. Moreover, the increasing employment of small-scale LNG as an alternative for marine gas oil and diesel oil in ships is supporting the market growth.
