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.
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.
The LNG value chain end to end
The LNG value chain is the sequence of production, treatment, liquefaction, shipping, regasification and distribution that moves natural gas between markets no pipeline connects, at an end-to-end energy cost of roughly 10 to 20 per cent of the gas itself.
