Global gas liquefaction capacity reached 483.1 million metric tons in 2023. Since 2010, LNG production capacities have increased by some 76 percent. In the same time period, the global LNG trade volume also saw significant growth, reaching over 540 billion cubic meters in 2022. Transporting natural gas in its liquefied form is used when consumer markets are too far removed from production sites and where pipeline access is unavailable.
