The LNG value chain, catalogued

Every LNG terminal, gas pipeline and LNG carrier — and who builds them.

LNG Chain is a reference directory built from Global Energy Monitor's Global Gas Infrastructure Tracker. Each asset gets one page with a plain-language summary generated from the structured data, a status history, capacity in both Mtpa and bcm/y, and links to its owners, operators and country. This release covers LNG terminals, gas transmission pipelines and the LNG carrier fleet; the supplier short-list and chokepoint exposure follow.
