Data

LNG terminals with low-carbon projects recorded

Carbon capture, hydrogen, ammonia, synthetic LNG and alternative-fuel projects that Global Energy Monitor records against a terminal. A record that a project exists, not a measure of emissions.

A flag is a yes; a blank is not a no

34 of 813 tracked terminals carry at least one flag, 14 of them operating. GEM records a yes where it knows of an associated or proposed project and leaves the field blank otherwise, so a terminal without a flag is “not reported”, not a confirmed absence.

The flags do not say a project is built, funded or running, so this page counts terminals by their own status and gives no capacity, emissions or capture figure. Terminals at different statuses are never added together.

Terminals by kind of project

One terminal can carry several flags, so the rows overlap and are not added together.

Each terminal page repeats its own flags with GEM’s wording. For what the technologies are, see the glossary and the Learn curriculum.

Common questions

Each answer stands on its own.

How many LNG terminals have a carbon capture project?
16 of 813 tracked terminals have a carbon capture and storage project associated with them in Global Energy Monitor's current release. The flag records that a project is associated with the terminal, not that capture is happening, and a terminal without the flag is simply not reported as having one.
Which LNG terminals are linked to hydrogen or ammonia?
15 terminals have a hydrogen project and 10 an ammonia project associated with them, and 4 have a retrofit proposed that would move them to an alternative fuel. They are listed on this page with their status.
Does this mean these terminals are low-carbon?
No. The flags say a related project exists or has been proposed. They are not a measure of emissions, of capture or production actually under way, or of how much of a terminal is affected, and this page gives no emissions or capacity figure for that reason.
What does the absence of a flag mean?
Not reported. GEM records a yes where it knows of a project and leaves the field blank otherwise, so a blank is not a confirmed no.
What is synthetic LNG?
Methane made from hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide instead of drawn from the ground, also called e-methane or eLNG. The tracker flags terminals with such a project associated; see the glossary for the term.
