- In June 2025, the International Energy Agency (IEA) launched the Global LNG Capacity Tracker, a dynamic online tool designed to enhance transparency in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector. This publicly accessible platform provides detailed data on LNG liquefaction capacity additions through 2030, tracking final investment decisions (FIDs) and project ramp-up schedules. By offering real-time insights into ongoing and upcoming LNG export projects, the tracker empowers governments, investors, and industry stakeholders to better navigate the rapidly evolving global gas supply landscape. It marks a significant step toward improving market visibility and supporting strategic energy planning
- In May 2025, Honeywell International Inc. unveiled a major portfolio realignment strategy to align with global megatrends, particularly the Energy Transition. The company announced plans to fully separate its Aerospace Technologies division and spin off its Advanced Materials business into a new entity named Solstice Advanced Materials. This move is designed to sharpen Honeywell’s strategic focus and accelerate innovation in clean energy technologies, including liquefied natural gas (LNG) solutions. By streamlining its operations, Honeywell aims to better capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable energy systems and unlock long-term value for stakeholders
- In October 2024, the Copelouzos Group entered a strategic alliance with the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) to enhance LNG operations via a newly launched Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) terminal in Greece. This joint venture aims to facilitate the transport, supply, and regasification of liquefied natural gas across Greece and Eastern Europe. The partnership underscores the growing relevance of adaptable infrastructure such as FSRUs in expanding LNG trade routes and improving energy accessibility. It also reflects Egypt’s ambition to strengthen its role as a regional energy hub while deepening bilateral cooperation with Greece in the energy sector
- In July 2024, Woodside Energy announced the acquisition of Tellurian Inc. for securing full ownership of the Driftwood LNG project located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. This strategic move grants Woodside access to a fully permitted, large-scale LNG export terminal with a planned capacity of 27.6 million tonnes per annum, expected to commence operations in 2029. The acquisition underscores Woodside’s ambition to expand its global LNG footprint and reflects broader industry trends of consolidation and long-term investment in liquefaction infrastructure to meet rising global energy demand
- In May 2024, NextDecade Corporation signed a 20-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) sale and purchase agreement with Japan’s largest power generator, JERA. The deal involves the supply of 2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG from Train 5 of NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG project in Brownsville, Texas. The agreement is contingent upon a positive final investment decision (FID) on Train 5. This long-term contract not only reflects Japan’s continued demand for U.S. LNG but also plays a pivotal role in enabling project financing and advancing the commercialization of new liquefaction infrastructure
