Tangshan II is the largest upcoming project in the country with a capacity of 584.4 billion ft3 by 2025. Yantai I and Zhoushan III are the other major projects with capacities of 487 billion ft3and 340.9 billion ft3, respectively.
GlobalData identifies India to be the second-highest contributor to the global LNG regasification capacity additions with new build LNG regasification capacity additions of 2882 billion ft3 by 2025. Expansion projects account for the rest of the capacity additions with 365 billion ft3 by 2025. ‘Karwar Floating’ and ‘Jaigarh Port Floating’ projects lead LNG regasification capacity additions in the country with capacities of 365 billion ft3 and 274 billion ft3, respectively.
Pakistan is expected to be the third largest contributor to the LNG regasification capacity additions globally with 1752 billion ft3. Of these, new-build capacity additions account for 1697 billion ft3 and expansion capacity additions account for 55 billion ft3 by 2025. Among the new-build projects in the country, Port Qasim is the largest upcoming project with a capacity of 438 billion ft3. It is expected to start operations in 2023.
