Where is Akonikien LNG Terminal?

Akonikien LNG Terminal is an LNG import terminal in Equatorial Guinea. It is made up of 1 tracked train or phase.

Is Akonikien LNG Terminal operating?

Akonikien LNG Terminal is cancelled. Nothing here should be read as a forecast that it will be built.

Global Energy Monitor reports no capacity for Akonikien LNG Terminal, so none is shown. That is an absent figure, not a zero.

Akonikien LNG Terminal is owned by Government of Equatorial Guinea. Shares are as recorded in the current tracker release.

Each row is one unit as tracked by GEM. Ordered by start year, then proposal year.

Background on the technology and the terms used on this page.

FSRU versus onshore regasification
An FSRU is a ship that stores LNG and turns it back into gas while moored, doing the job of an onshore import terminal without the onshore construction.
Storage tanks, 9% nickel and high-manganese steel
An LNG storage tank holds liquid at close to atmospheric pressure in an inner shell of cryogenic alloy, surrounded by insulation and, in the full containment design, an outer concrete wall capable of containing the entire contents.
What terminal status actually means
A project status describes how far an LNG terminal or train has progressed, and the gap between proposed and operating is the single most misread number in the industry.
How LNG works
Liquefied natural gas is natural gas chilled to about minus 162 degrees Celsius, at which point it becomes a liquid roughly 600 times smaller than the gas, so it can be shipped where no pipeline runs.
