IEA launches new global LNG capacity tracker
After a period of crisis, tight supply conditions and heightened price volatility, the global natural gas market is expected to transition to a period of abundant supply in the coming years - largely due to an increase in global capacity to produce and export liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Against this backdrop, the International Energy Agency (IEA) launched a new online resource that will make key LNG data publicly available, providing detailed information on a rapidly evolving market for the first time.
The IEA's new Global LNG Capacity Tracker, out today, monitors final investment decisions for new LNG export projects and provides data on liquefaction capacity additions through 2030, based on projects that are currently under construction and the latest ramp-up schedules. It will be updated regularly.
The world currently has about 670 billion cubic metres (bcm) per year of LNG liquefaction capacity. Slower-than-average capacity growth in recent years has led to higher prices amid robust demand.
But capacity is set to rise strongly through the end of the decade, with significant implications for global gas markets.
Between 2025 and 2030, a total of nearly 290 bcm per year of new LNG export capacity is expected to come online from projects that have already reached a final investment decision and are under construction, according to the Tracker.
The pace and scale of this expansion of supply capacity remains uncertain and may shift over time. Given this, the Tracker will aim to reflect the latest developments, providing timely insights for governments, industry and other stakeholders.
The IEA closely monitors developments in natural gas markets, which play a central role in global energy security today.

Lummus, InnoVent sign tyre pyrolysis technology deal
Lummus Technology, a global provider of process technologies and value-driven energy solutions, and InnoVent Renewables have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to work toward licensing and deploying InnoVent's continuous tyre pyrolysis technology globally. 'This is another significant step in expanding and strengthening our portfolio for the circular economy,' said Leon de Bruyn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lummus Technology. 'By combining InnoVent's tyre recycling technology with Lummus' global licensing and engineering expertise, we will be addressing the global challenge of waste tires and creating new pathways for sustainable product development.' Under an agreement outlined in the MoU, once finally negotiated, Lummus would serve as the exclusive licensor for InnoVent's proprietary continuous tire pyrolysis technology, which converts end-of-life tyres into valuable products such as pyrolysis oil, gas, recycled carbon black and steel. Lummus would also act as the licensor for comprehensive technology packages that combine InnoVent's tire pyrolysis process with Lummus' downstream technologies to increase the value of fuel and chemical outputs. 'Partnering with Lummus has the potential to accelerate the global deployment of our technology and help us address the environmental and public health challenges of 1 billion end-of-life tires that are disposed of annually,' said Vibhu Sharma, Chief Executive Officer, InnoVent Renewables. 'Together, we can transform waste into valuable resources, reduce carbon emissions and support the transition to a more sustainable future.'
