小規模LNGとは?
小規模液化天然ガス(LNG)とは、従来の再ガス化およびその後のガス送電網へのイントロダクションのプロセスとは異なり、LNGを液体のまま直接使用することを指します。大規模LNGに比べ、建設期間が短く、資本支出(CAPEX)、投資回収期間も短縮できます。石油・ディーゼル燃料に比べ、二酸化炭素などの有害なガスを排出しないため、環境にやさしいです。また、遠隔地の産業施設や住宅で使用されるオフグリッド発電のニーズにも応えることができます。また、小規模LNGは、世界中の発電、産業用原料、輸送活動にも利用されています。
COVID-19の流行は、小規模LNG産業に深刻な問題を引き起こし、多くの国に前例のない課題を突きつけました。各国の政府機関により施錠や外出禁止令が出され、小規模LNGの生産が一時停止されました。エネルギー需要の大幅かつ急激な減少を引き起こし、この業界のプレーヤーは、その時の生産閉鎖によって莫大な損失を被りました。さらに、パンデミックによって小規模なLNGの流通が制限され、トラック 促進要因の不足が生じました。そのため、当事者間の契約の延期やキャンセルが発生し、生産者は安全性への懸念から新規プロジェクトの建設を遅らせていました。また、パンデミックによる経済・産業活動の急激な落ち込みによるエネルギー需要の減少や、急激な原油価格の暴落による小型LNG価格の急落がありました。このほか、業界では、需要の減少、価格の低迷、貯蔵量の高止まり、プロジェクトの実行可能性や供給削減に対する懸念の高まりがありました。また、小規模LNG業界の生産停止やサプライチェーンの問題により、プロジェクトに対する様々な投資判断が前例のないほど低下しているのが示されました。
現在、世界中の大衆の間でエネルギー効率が高く、費用対効果の高いエネルギー源に対する需要が高まっていることが、市場の成長を支える重要な要因の1つとなっています。また、ディーゼル燃料に代わる輸送分野での小規模LNGの利用が拡大していることも、市場の前向きな見通しをもたらしています。さらに、安価で効率的であることから、発電分野での小規模LNGの利用が増加しており、市場の成長を後押ししています。これとは別に、生産、液化、貯蔵、移送といったガスのプロセスを海上で行い、輸送船が市場に直接出荷する前の小規模な浮体式LNG施設の改良が進んでおり、業界の投資家に有利な成長機会を提供しています。さらに、各国の政府機関は、世界各地で有害ガスの排出量を削減するための厳しい規則や規制を実施し、LNGの採用を奨励しており、これが市場の成長に寄与しています。また、海洋バンカリングにおける小型LNGの需要の高まりは、市場にプラスの影響を与えています。さらに、環境汚染に対する個人の意識の高まりによる小規模LNGの需要増が、市場の成長を強化しています。

What is Small-Scale LNG?
Small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) refers to the direct use of LNG in its liquid form as compared to the traditional process of regasification and subsequent introduction into the gas transmission grid. It has shorter construction timelines, reduced capital expenditure (CAPEX), and payoff periods as compared to large-scale LNG. It is environment-friendly as it does not emit carbon dioxide or other harmful gases compared to oil and diesel. It is widely utilized in addressing off-grid power generation needs in remote industrial and residential complexes. Small-scale LNG also finds applications in power generation, industrial feedstock, and transportation activities across the globe.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a severe problem for the small-scale LNG industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. It paused the production of small-scale LNG due to lockdowns and curfews imposed by the governing agencies of various countries. It caused a huge and sudden reduction in energy demand and the players in this industry suffered huge losses due to the closure of production at that time. Moreover, the pandemic has restricted the distribution of small-scale LNG and created a shortage of truck drivers. This caused postponed or canceled contracts between the parties and the producers were delaying the construction of new projects due to safety concerns. In addition, there was a reduced energy demand due to the steep decline in economic and industrial activities caused by the pandemic and the sudden decline in small-scale LNG prices due to the rapid oil price crash. Besides this, the industry was suffering a downward demand, low prices, high storage levels, and increased concerns over the viability of projects and supply cuts. Various investment decisions for projects were also witnessed unprecedented drops due to the halted production and supply chain problems in the small-scale LNG industry.
At present, the rising demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective energy sources among the masses worldwide represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing utilization of small-scale LNG in the transportation sector as an alternative to diesel fuel is offering a positive market outlook. Additionally, the increasing utilization of small-scale LNG in the power generation sector, as it is inexpensive and efficient, is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, rising improvements in small-scale floating LNG facilities wherein the process of gas is carried out at sea, such as production, liquefaction, storage, and transfer, before carriers ship it directly to markets is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Moreover, governing agencies of various countries are encouraging the adoption of LNG by implementing stringent rules and regulations to lower emissions of harmful gases across the globe, which is contributing to the growth of the market. In addition, the growing demand for small-scale LNG in marine bunkering is positively influencing the market. Furthermore, the rising demand for small-scale LNG due to the increasing awareness among individuals about environmental pollution is strengthening the market growth.
