Why is LNG Important Now?
• Natural gas use is expected to increase by 38% by 2025
• Traditional North American producing areas will provide only 75% of US gas needs through 2025
• LNG is forecast to supply over 15% of the US demand in 2025

History of LNG• Natural gas was considered an unwelcome by-product of
crude oil until around 1920, when it was recognized as a source of valuable fuels such as propane and butane– 1941: First liquefaction plant in Cleveland, Ohio– 1959: First LNG transport by ship to UK– 1960: First base-load liquefaction plant in Algeria– 1964: Large-scale shipping between Algeria and Europe– 1969: LNG transported from Alaska to Japan
LNG Today• The LNG business is rapidly growing worldwide with
more and more plants being built or under development• Currently there are:
– 15 LNG Liquefaction Plants operating in 12 countries– 38 LNG Regasification Plants operating in 14
countries

LNG Safety
• More than 33,000 LNG carrier voyages covering 60 million miles over a 40-year period without a major accident
