GIE publishes the annual updates of the GLE New LNG Services Inventory and the GLE List of Services, part of its market transparency commitments along with ALSI Transparency Platform, Transparency template, LNG Maps and associated databases.
The data are particularly useful in analysing:
Overall, they confirm that the LNG large scale terminals in Europe offer a large panel of services covering both large scale and as small scale. They also show that the use of these services continues to grow, in particular with respect to small scale.
This confirms that LNG is a reliable alternative in replacing fuel oil and diesel in freight transport and shipping, as well as in supplying off-grid industrial sites and communities. LNG has a much smaller carbon footprint and switching to LNG brings an immediate benefit on air quality and therefore health:
Moreover, all these services are “carbon neutral ready” : they are fully compatible with liquid biomethane or liquid synthetic methane. Therefore, these investments represent the first step towards a deep decarbonation of hard to abate sectors such as heavy mobility.
