List of LNG terminals


is the liquefied form of natural gas, which has a much smaller volume than natural gas in its gaseous form. This liquefied condition is used to facilitate the carriage of natural gas over long distances, often by sea, in specialized tanks.
LNG port terminals are purpose-built port terminals designed to accommodate large LNG carrier ships designed to load, carry and unload LNG. These LNG terminals are located adjacent to a gas liquefaction and storage plant, or to a gas regasification and storage plant, which are themselves connected to gas pipelines connected to on-shore or off-shore gas fields or to storage and distribution plants.

The United States has had a massive shift in LNG terminal planning and construction starting in 2010-2011 due to a rapid increase in US domestic natural gas supply with the widespread adoption of hydraulic fracking petroleum recovery technology. Many brand-new LNG import terminals are planning or have begun addition of liquefaction facilities to operate as export terminals.
On November 21, 2019, U.S. regulators approved permits for three new liquified natural gas export terminals in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved permits for Rio Grande LNG, Annova LNG and Texas LNG with each of the three companies intending to build their LNG plant and terminal at the Port of Brownsville. One month after approval, the Sierra Club and other environmental groups asked the FERC to reconsider the permits, saying the agency failed to adequately consider environmental impacts.
The following six projects are in various stages of planning according to the US Federal regulatory authority as of May 2020.

;Projects in Pre-Filing
;Previously proposed
Several projects which were shown in the planning process in earlier FERC data releases, are no longer listed on the active proposed project list as of May 2020.
NOTE: Now in December of 2019, many regasification plants have been converted to liquefaction trains i.e Sabine pass and others.

Australia

The country also has liquefaction terminals in more remote areas for export, and imports from the Middle East in areas with dense population.
