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.
| Project recorded | Terminals | By terminal status |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon capture and storageA carbon capture and storage (CCS) project is associated with the terminal. | 16 | Operating 6 · Under construction 3 · Proposed 5 · Cancelled 2 |
| HydrogenA hydrogen project is associated with the terminal. | 15 | Operating 6 · Under construction 3 · Proposed 5 · Cancelled 1 |
| AmmoniaAn ammonia project is associated with the terminal. | 10 | Operating 6 · Under construction 1 · Proposed 2 · Cancelled 1 |
| Synthetic LNGA synthetic LNG project (e-methane, eLNG and the like) is associated with the terminal. | 3 | Operating 2 · Proposed 1 |
| Retrofit proposedA retrofit has been proposed that would move the project to an alternative fuel such as hydrogen. | 4 | Under construction 2 · Proposed 2 |
| Preliminary agreementThe sponsors of an alternative-fuel project have signed a preliminary agreement. | 6 | Operating 3 · Under construction 1 · Proposed 2 |
| Call for market interestThe sponsors of an alternative-fuel project have issued a call for market interest. | 3 | Operating 2 · Proposed 1 |

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.
