Where LNG terminals cluster

Groups of three or more LNG terminals, each within 25 km of another in the group, with the operating export and import capacity in each.

Close together on the map, not necessarily connected

807 terminals have coordinates; 6 do not and cannot be placed. Of those placed, 219 sit in a group of 3 or more, 156 in a pair and 432 stand alone, within 25 km of nothing else. 54 groups are listed.

This is an inference from coordinates, the same 25 km the pipeline links use. It does not say terminals share a port, a channel, an owner or a pipeline. A terminal joins a group if it is near any member, so a line of terminals along a coast can chain into one group; each row gives its widest span. Capacity is operating units only, export and import apart, and a unit with no capacity adds nothing.

Common questions

Each answer stands on its own.

Where are the biggest groups of LNG terminals?
Louisiana, United States has the largest group in the tracker: 11 terminals, each within 25 km of another in the group and spanning up to 40 km, 2 with operating units. Proximity says where terminals sit, not that they share a port or an owner.
Which cluster has the most operating export capacity?
Al Khawr, Qatar, with 77.1 Mtpa of operating export capacity across its terminals. Export is liquefaction; the cluster’s import capacity, if any, is shown separately and never added.
How is a cluster decided?
A terminal joins a cluster when its coordinates are within 25 km of any other member, and only groups of 3 or more terminals are listed. A string of terminals along a coast can chain into one group, so each row gives the widest distance inside it; the widest is 52 km, for Louisiana, United States.
Are floating terminals included?
Yes, at the coordinates the tracker gives, which for a floating unit is where it is moored or planned to be. Terminals with no coordinates cannot be placed and are counted in the note above the table.
