6 FAQs about [Total investment in LNG peaking energy storage projects in Western Europe]

Does Europe have a global LNG market?

Europe’s increasing prominence in the global LNG market continued throughout 2018, 2019 and the first quarter of 2020. Europe’s 15 LNG importing countries (large- and small-scale LNG imports) collectively held a 15.6% share of the total global LNG import market (net of re-exports) in 2018, demonstrating a 6.4% rise on 2017.

How has LNG regasification changed Europe?

Since mid-2022, LNG regasification capacity in the EU has expanded by 50 bcm/year, primarily in North-West Europe. This expansion has boosted LNG imports and eased congestion at gas networks and LNG terminals. This contributed to lower wholesale gas prices and improved price convergence at gas hubs. Source: ACER based on data from Platts and GIE.

How much LNG import capacity did Europe add in 2023?

Europe added more than 50 bcm/year of extra LNG import capacity to switch away from Russian gas, mainly via Floating Storage Regasification Units (FSRUs). Meanwhile, there was also ongoing growth in oil and gas investments, which reached over USD 30 billion in 2023. Investment in liquified natural gas (LNG) reached nearly 7 billion.

What role does LNG play in Europe's energy industry?

Since the Russia-Ukraine war, the role of LNG in Europe’s energy industry has grown tremendously. Though countries like Spain and the United Kingdom already had a well-established LNG infrastructure, since 2022 other European countries, chief among them Germany, have begun investing heavily in terminals and regasification units.

Why are EU LNG imports nearing a peak?

EU LNG imports might be nearing its peak due to structural gas demand reductions driven by theEU’s decarbonisation goals. Pipeline remains generally stable (with Russian pipeline imports ending in 2027). Domestic EU production is expected to slightly increase (thanks to decarbonised gases increase).

Which country imports the most LNG in the world?

The European Union has outpaced China as the largest global LNG importer, while the United States have surpassed Qatar andAustralia as the largest LNG producer. Source: ACER based on data from ICIS LNG Edge. Since mid-2022, LNG regasification capacity in the EU has expanded by 50 bcm/year, primarily in North-West Europe.
