As energy transitions become the primary concerns of countries around the world, the role that liquified natural gas (LNG) could play in this regard is becoming more important and better understood. According to a report on the LNG outlook for 2022 by energy giant Shell, switching just 20% of coal-fired power in Asia to LNG would save the energy equivalent of all emissions from Germany. Similarly, in the transport sector, switching 10% of heavy goods vehicles and 10% of the shipping fleet to run on gas could potentially save energy equal to taking around 16 millions cars off the road. As policymakers come to term with this idea, the LNG market is buzzing. In 2021, amid a broader price boom in the energy sector due to supply and demand issues, the global trade in LNG climbed to 380 million tons, an increase of around 6% compared to 2020. China, the manufacturing hub of the world, was the largest importer of LNG with 79 million tons imported during the year. US-led shale firms, meanwhile, were some of the biggest exporters of LNG as US LNG exports climbed by 24 million tons in 2021. In 2022, the LNG market is expected to continue on a growth trajectory as it replaces dwindling domestic gas production in Asia, demand surges due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in Europe, and increased efforts to decarbonize the LNG supply chain start to bear fruit.
