Reported cost
Global Energy Monitor's estimated cost for each unit that reports one, converted to US dollars. Estimates at the date GEM last updated the unit, not adjusted for inflation.
| Unit | Status | Capacity | Estimated cost | Per tonne a year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 | Proposed | 10 Mtpa | $30 billion | $3,000 |
| Phase 1.1 (Golar Hilli Episeyo FLNG) | Proposed | 2.45 Mtpa | $3.44 billion | $1,404 |
| Phase 1.2 (Golar MK II FLNG) | Proposed | 3.5 Mtpa | $3.44 billion | $983 |
A unit with no cost reported is not shown, and the figures are never added across statuses. How the estimates compare is on project costs.
