With the share of US LNG in the global supply mix slated to rise to more than 31% by 2029, up from 22% in 2023, the long-term prospect of projects in North America have come under increasing scrutiny, as have final investment decisions (FIDs) for new LNG projects.
In order to position the US and North American LNG industry at the heart of the global market by 2030, several projects with commercial momentum will need to take FID within the next couple of years. That also means working on a backlog of projects pursuing financial support and finding customers willing to sign long-term LNG contracts – even as the demand for LNG keeps the flow of approvals going. Another key consideration that will shape the future of LNG project approvals and FIDs is the commitment to decarbonisation and how critical it will be to the success of new projects.
Against such a dynamic backdrop, the North American Supply Projects FIDs webinar highlighted the outlook for LNG / natural gas supply projects over the next years, and assessed the projects best placed to be the next wave of FIDs. Our expert speakers from Bloomberg, Energy Transfer, Fluor and CLNG also answered some of the most critical questions facing the industry.
