The global LNG and bio-LNG energy landscape is changing
Nowadays the main activities of the LNG business focus on mega projects and big-scale LNG market and the comparatively diminutive market of micro- and nano-scale (bio-) LNG doesn’t get much attention. Even if there are many market players, this segment is generally not yet in the focus of the industry participants but taking into consideration a great potential of this market it should be. The companies approaching the micro-(bio-) LNG market e.g., in off-grid application, should be prepared to act quickly to benefit from first-mover advantage and prepare a complex strategy underpinned by the appropriate capacities, which include relevant technology and partnerships across the (bio-)LNG chain. Additionally, the policy should define not only dedicated incentives but also adjust regulations that often create barriers for innovative (non-) technological solutions. Thus, to unlock this market, the change of paradigm in thinking about target group (end-users), distribution channels and technical solutions is necessary.

Prof Grażyna Pazikowska-Sapota
Maritime Institute
Researcher with many years of experience in research for the protection of the natural environment, with particular emphasis on the marine environment. Currently lead partner of the Interreg South Baltic Programme project Liquefied (bio-)gas as a driving force for development and use of green energy technology (acronym Liquid Energy). The conducted research on anthropopressure indicators (POPs, trace metals) allowed her to use them to assess the quality of the Baltic bottom sediments (expert at the CEDA Environment Commission). Research for climate protection is a new challenge.
